Dolores “Dee” Hollar, age 77, passed away Monday, February 13, 2006, after surviving a massive heart attack on January 30, 2006. Her children were at her side. Dee was born on January 25, 1929, in Nicholson, Pennsylvania and graduated as a basketball letterman from Tunkhannock High School. After graduation, Dee played semi-pro softball for three seasons before marrying Richard B. Hollar in 1950, with whom she had three loving children, and traveled the world as a military wife and family. Dee’s husband preceded her in death in 1974. In addition to her family and the social activities of an officer’s wife, she began a lifelong passion as a volunteer, first with the Red Cross in Italy, Virginia, culminating at Ft. Sam Houston during the Vietnam War.
Dee’s passion was her children and sports, swimming in particular. For over 40 years, starting out as a timer for her children’s swim team in Virginia, then on to Texas in 1968, and the Ft. Sam Houston Aquabrats, Dee earned the highest degrees of swimming official certification reaching a pinnacle by officiating at the 1992 Los Angeles and 1996 Atlanta Olympic Games. She traveled the world as the USA Swim Team Manager for the World Games and Pan American Games.
Her volunteer passion flourished in sports other than swimming. Dee was the secretary and treasurer of the South Texas AAU for over 30 years, “sports for all forever” was the motto as well as Dee’s. She was involved in Modern Pentathlon for many years as the lead swimming official for the sport and officiated this sport as well as at the Olympic Games.
In 1979, she was named Outstanding Sportswoman of the Year by the San Antonio Express-News. In 1998, Dee was voted into the San Antonio Woman’s Hall of Fame for Athletics and served as their treasurer until last year. Dee was unanimously awarded the Texas Interscholastic Swimming Coaches Association (TISCA) Award for “Outstanding Achievement” to high school swimming. The award, voted on by the coaches in the state of Texas, was a ring with a blue star, which she so cherished, was presented to Dee at the 2004 High School State Meet. She served the Texas State High School Swim Meet as Director and Administrative Referee for over 30 years. Dee was the driving force behind building the San Antonio Natatorium in 1981. She so enjoyed helping young people get into swimming and sports because she knew that participating in sports would help them throughout the rest of their life.
Dee had a very large and loving group of friends. She league bowled since the 1960’s and competed at every level of competition. She cherished her friends at the Ft. Sam and Astro Bowling Lanes and had a special bond with a group of bowlers, her “seesters” whom she loved dearly. Dee was a square and round dancer with the Double Diamonds and Alamo Area clubs and danced with her long time companion of 18 years, Mac McDonald, until his death in 2002. Dee was an avid Spurs fan, a season ticket holder for several decades who never missed a home game, and was often the first one in the door. Recently she joined the Red Hat Society and really enjoyed meeting everyone for lunch and fun.
Dee was a member of St. Pius X Catholic Church for over 34 years and had a special friend in Monsignor Brosnan who shared a common enthusiasm of sports.
Dee’s life was complete. She raised a loving family and was a loving grandmother to seven granddaughters and two grandsons. She never missed an opportunity to witness a play, concert, swim meet, horse show, or soccer game. She sewed costumes, visited those who lived far away, and was always present for the special events of their growing up. She was also preceded in death by her son-in-law, Steven Ince, Sr. Dee is survived by son, Rick Hollar, his wife Debbie, and their children Ashley, Laura, Melanie and Julia; daughter, Nancy Hollar Ince, her children Beverly, Jennifer, and Steven Jr.; and daughter, Peggy Hollar Little, her husband David, and their children Christiana and Grayson. Dee’s cats, Lucky and Midnight, will also miss Dee, but will live on with Dee’s children.
Donations to the San Antonio Humane Society, in her Honor, would be a great memorial to Dee.

William Porter Weaver passed into glory on April 15, 2006.
On May 22, 1920, he was the last of ten children born to Dr. Ben P. and Lucille Weaver in Ft. Wayne, Indiana. His father and three siblings had died before he finished high school.
He is survived by his wife, Anna May Weaver of Enid, Oklahoma; his son and daughter-in-law, Bill Weaver Jr. and Cynthia Weaver; two grandchildren, Christopher Weaver and Meredith Weaver; and more than a dozen nieces and nephews and their families. His last and closest sibling, Peggy Waechter, left this world eighteen hours before Bill did. The family is certain that the two of them ascended the stairs of heaven hand in hand, two steps at a time, laughing and joking and praising God as they did in this life.
Always innovative, while in his teens working at a local sawmill, he invented an early form of particle board from scrap wood and resins; the product was later developed by the lumber industry.
Bill served in World War II as a pursuit plane test pilot, a ferry pilot, and a flight instructor. He earned a B.S. in Psychology/Sociology with a minor in Business, with some graduate work in Business at Syracuse University.
After the War, he formed a home building company that developed and built a successful subdivision in Dallas. His sales and marketing efforts included the development of the concept of the suburban car dealership, creation and utilization of the E. J. Brachs Candy Co. Pick-a-Mix display and sales concept in 1956 which still is used in modern grocery stores; and a multitude of new and successful concepts and procedures for other companies such as Kraft Foods, Quaker Oats, World’s Finest Chocolates, Dunkin Donuts, and Helene Rubenstein.
He moved to San Antonio in 1965 where he became the President of Judson’s Candy Co. Active in his community as a volunteer, he started Operation Head Start in Houston, worked with the Girl Scouts of America for over twenty years, worked with the United Way of Houston developing a Speakers’ Bureau and a Junior Speakers’ Bureau to improve public speaking abilities among high school students.
While living in Oklahoma, he worked with the local high school as an assistant tennis coach combining his love for the sport and his desire to help youngsters.
In his 70’s, he was still medaling in the Senior Olympics with gold and silver medals in Men’s Singles and Doubles Tennis. He was a cancer survivor. He had a lifelong appreciation for nature and gardening that made his yards the envy of the neighborhood.
A Christian, an American Patriot, a devoted and unselfish family man who never had an unkind word to, or about, anyone, a friend to all; he will be loved, remembered, and missed by everyone who knew him. Through the Blood of Jesus, he will reside in Our Father’s Grace for all eternity. His memory will not fade from the hearts of his family and friends.
