LYNN — Timothy Holland, age 91, of Lynn, formerly of Brooklyn, N.Y., passed away peacefully on March 21, 2017. He was the cherished husband of Mary (Cadogan) Holland.
Born in County Cork, Ireland, he was the son of the late Jeremiah and Mary Holland.
Timmy was employed for more than 30 years as a mechanic for Trans World Airlines. For the past eight years he and his wife have been residents of Lynn where they moved to be with their daughter, Agnes.
His family was most important to him; those loved ones in the States as well as his extended family in Ireland that he enjoyed visiting each summer. Timmy was a wonderful handyman around the house, and he enjoyed watching sports games and gardening at home. He enjoyed freshwater fishing, always hoping to catch a big one!
He was the loving father of Agnes Leavey and her late husband James, a former Lynn firefighter. “Da” is also survived by his grandchildren, Mary Lawler of Brooklyn, N.Y., Eileen Leavey of Lynn and Patrick Lawler of Brooklyn, N.Y., and great-grandchildren.
