I am very sad to hear the news. Tony was a good man and a calm influence in the class room. My thoughts are with his friends and family through these tough times.

My sincere condolences to the Holland family on their loss of Tony. I knew im only briefly as I have only recently returned to teaching back in NZ. Tony was very welcoming when I attended Technology meetings at his school.

My thoughts go out to Tony's family. I was very sad to hear of Tony's death. Tony was a teacher and Housemaster of mine while at Christ's College. I remember him as a kind and thoughtful man. I was especially grateful to Tony for finishing the Rolleston House Old Boys tie project which he and I started in my final year of School. I remember fondly and proudly the day I returned to Rolleston House together with Graeme Worner to receive the first of the House ties from Tony.

I remember a real calming figure at college while I taught there. His quiet demeanor and little chats have been missed over successive years. A real loss.

So sorry to hear. Mr Holland was my teacher for workshop and technical drawing (and sailing at Lyttelton if I remember correctly?) circa early 2000s. I remember him being one of the most calmest and pragmatic teachers at College, and I think the students really respected him for that. My condolences to his family.

My sincere condolences to the Holland family. Mr Holland was my housemaster at Rolleston House in my first year at College. I was very saddened to hear of his passing. I remember him as being a very kind-hearted teacher and he will be missed. Regards, Philip Marshall

I was at Christ's College from 2005 to 2011 and was privileged to get to know Tony well. I am deeply shocked and saddened by his death and send condolences and thoughts to you all at this time. He was a true gentleman and lovely company as well as a respected teacher. I loved hearing about his sabbatical and building his own house- a wonderful achievement that he was so proud of. I am so very sorry for your loss.
