On Friday, June 10, 2011, a celebration of life will be held for Dillard alumnus and former Dean of the Library Tommy Holton, at the Franklin Avenue Baptist Church in New Orleans. Tommy was a committed employee of the university, having served Dillard for at least 29 years. He was from a family of Dillard loyalists, including his wife Carolyn Holton and son Garrick Holton, who currently works in ITT. Four of his siblings and both of his children are also Dillard graduates.
Tommy’s love for Dillard was as extraordinary as the panoramic photo of the campus, “My Dillard,” which he captured in four separate photos in May 2009 and presented to the university in December of that same year. The photo depicts a breath-taking view of the entire length of the campus as seen from Gentilly Blvd. It is currently displayed in the Office of the President. Tommy will be missed and remembered for more than that.
Tommy was a dedicated loving family member whom we will forever hold dear in our memories and in our hearts.
