About the maker:

"A man of great energy, compassion, and courtesy, Mr. Holmes attempted to do the most good while drawing the least amount of attention to himself. He was naturally gregarious and surrounded himself with friends of all ages and walks of life. He was also was a devoted family man, always making time for his immediate family as well as his parents and siblings. He was particularly devoted to his 14 nieces and nephews and their children.

In his retirement, Mr. Holmes built a greenhouse to grow his own flowers and vegetables. He also became a proficient maker of Nantucket Lightship baskets, which he gave away to his many friends."
