A passion for politics and a deep love for family.

From the State of Arizona House of Representatives (HCR 2015):

Calvin M. Holman died in a tragic automobile accident on December 28, 2007 at the age of seventy-six.

Born and raised in Topeka, Kansas, Cal Holman attended Harvard College and Stanford University. In 1956, he married Elizabeth Jordan and they moved to Chicago, where he began his banking career. In 1961, the Holmans and their children moved to Phoenix, where Cal Holman served as assistant controller at Valley National Bank and as a consultant in financial and personnel data processing systems. He also taught computer software classes at Arizona State University, where he served as president of the Systems Management Association.

In 1974, Cal Holman ran for and won a seat in the Arizona House of Representatives. He ably served his constituents in the Paradise Valley, North Phoenix and Sun City areas in this capacity for ten years. During his tenure in the Legislature, he served as chairman of numerous committees, and was known as an exceptionally hard working and honest individual.

Despite the demands of his business and political endeavors, Cal Holman gave freely of his time, energy and efforts to such worthwhile organizations as a member of the Scottsdale Sunrise Rotary and as a deacon of Valley Presbyterian Church. He continued to remain active in the Republican Party even after his legislative service ended, and had recently retired as president of the Scottsdale Republican Forum. He was a member and past president of the Harvard Alumni Club in Phoenix, and was currently serving as treasurer of the Stanford Alumni Club in Phoenix.

Dedicated to his family, Cal Holman will be greatly missed by his wife of fifty-one years, Elizabeth, his son, Calvin, his daughter-in-law, Virginia, his daughter, Mary, and his brother, Charles.

Therefore

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives of the State of Arizona, the Senate concurring:

That the Members of the Legislature express regret at the unexpected and untimely death of Calvin M. Holman and extend their deepest condolences to his family and many friends.
