My beloved husband Bob Hollingsworth lost his battle with lung 
cancer on July 30, 1999..He was diagnosed on Good Friday of 1998, 
and fought this terrible disease with all he had, but in the end it 
brought him down..He was the loving father of Robert Jr. and Tanya 
Lynne ..Grandfather of Tiffany Rose Hollingsworth age 7, Robert A 
Hollingsworth III age 6 and Travis Michael Porter age 4...His daughter 
Tanya has a set of twins (boy&girl) due in November...It's such a shame 
how this disease can rip the heart right out of a family...This is 
Bob's obituary.....................................................
