 "My Family" 

I was born and raised in the Town of Fort Erie, a small border town in Southern Ontario, Canada, located on the Niagara River across from Buffalo, New York, USA.  I then moved to Stevensville, Ontario which is still part of the Municipality of Fort Erie.  My mom Edna Holmes (who passed away in 2010), and father Everton Holmes (who passed a 10 years prior) brought me up with good values and principals which started me off just right.

My father was a business man and owned the Fort Erie Dairy, worked for Avondale as a Manager and later retired working for Fleet Industries.  He was president for the Fort Erie Lions Club and a member of the Masons.  Our family was brought up in the Lutheran Church and are still members.  My mom was  dedicated in raising the family and was very strong in keeping the house under control since my father passed away before her.

I have 2 older sisters, Sharon Johnson (married to Gary) and Janet Hanna (married and divorce to Bob) and now living with Collin Smith.  I have one older brother Robert Holmes (nicknamed whitey in his earlier years) who is married to Helma.

I finished high school at FESS and purchased a house almost immediately after with my savings from working summers and nights during my high school years.  I then married at the age of 21 to Julie and had 3 great children, DJ Holmes, Tara Holmes and Jenna Holmes.  Julie and I divorced after 11 yrs and the children have been blessed with two homes only a block away from each other. Julie has remarried to Rob Leard, who continues to help as father figure in their home.

I had lived with Monica Schmalz, and who has some amazing talents with balloons and is known as Fluffy the Clown and you can see her website by clicking on her name.  We have parted ways and I am single and enjoying life.
