Edgar A. Holloway, 77, accountant, motivator
Edgar A. Holloway had a brain for business, but it was his heart that made him motivate others to achieve, especially when it came to education.
"It was very important to his mother that he got a college education, " said Jan Holloway of Edgewood, a daughter of Mr. Holloway. "I think that's why he always took an interest in the education of others. . . . He would help anyone that showed on honest effort."
Those whose education he took an interest in included everyone from his grandson to a waiter at the Oriental Wok, a restaurant Mr. Holloway ate at frequently.
Mr. Holloway, 77, of Edgewood, died May 15 at his home.
His support of education extended to a foster care program his daughter directed.
He gave gifts to children in the program who were working hard in school.
"He was very supportive, " Jan Holloway said. "He always donat ed the gifts anonymously."

He re tired as vice president of finance for Clorox Co. in Oakland, Calif. He was a member of the Financial Executive Institute, American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and the Jeffersontown Rotary Club. He was profiled in publications of "Who's Who in America." His wife, Bettye M. Holloway, preceded him in death.
