ROCHESTER, NY - Robert Brian Holland,68, passed away on May 3, 2026, surrounded by the family he loved. He was born on August 10, 1957, to Jack and Lorraine Holland.
Bob was a man who understood the value of a job well done and a life well-lived. A master of the millwork finishing industry, Bob was respected for his meticulous eye and unwavering dedication to his craft. That same precision and care defined his personal life; he was the first person family and friends called when they needed a helping hand, and he never failed to show up with a steady hand and a kind heart.
Bob's truest joys were catching the wind on his motorcycle with his wife, Laurie, by his side, or camping and boating with his family and friends. He was always most at home under the open sky.
Predeceased by his parents, Jack and Lorraine Holland. He is survived by his beloved wife, Laurie Holland; his children, Andra Schwenger and James Holland; and his cherished granddaughter, Emilee Schwenger. He also leaves behind his siblings, David Holland, Patty Parchomenko, and Rhonda Holland and several nieces and nephews.
