Holger was my grandfather Johan Granholm <jkgranholm at gmail dot com>
Hi BjФrn,
Thank you for keeping in touch. Holger was my grandfather and he passed away last Saturday, February 5th at 11 Finnish time at the age of 91.
He has always been active and independent but he has had a tough time in recent months. He fell and broke his wrist in early December and after that he became more and more tired. He went to the hospital the week before Christmas & got a pacemaker on December 22nd.
However, he had to come home for Christmas so we could celebrate Christmas together, which was very nice. After the Christmas weekend, he got worse again, and has been struggling with a pneumonia for the past month, but his body can no longer bear it.
He has always been an important person in my life and he leaves a great loss and void behind. I moved to Sweden in 2006 but have gone home often and visited him & we talked on the phone several times a week.
Holger was born in Helsinki on January 23, 1931 & he moved to ┼land with his wife and children in November 1947 where he was offered a job and after working for a few years as a radio technician he trained as a television technician so started his own radio & television business which he ran until 1972. He was active in motorsport and competed in both boating and motorsports.
He was also an avid radio amateur & took an early interest in computers and bought his first computer in 1982. He ran his BBS with great enthusiasm and I know it was an important interest for him.
He loved to exercise & kept skiing in the winter and long walks the rest of the year.
He became a widower in 2012 & now leaves children & grandchildren with families.
Funeral will take place on Saturday 26 February at 13:00 Finnish time in the circle of the next of kin.
Sincerely Johan
----------------------------------------------------------------- A long time Fido sysop has left Fidonet Christer Jonson <2:201/0>
I have received the word that Holger Granholm has peacefully passed away a week ago.
Holger joined Fidonet in april 1995 as 2:20/228 -- HAM-BOX, from the isle Пland, between Sweden and Finland, and he kept that number until the end.
He was a skilled technician and a dedicated radio amateur, known over the world as "Sam" with call sign OH0NC. He took part in many contests and other event and he also created many shareware-programs for calculating amateur radio antennas of various kinds.
In a newspaper from Пland dated 1965, he is seen among other boy scouts when they participate in a world wide radio event where young scouts reach out to each other using amateur radio stations.
Holger was a frequent contributor in various echoes, in particular the AMATEUR_RADIO echo but as he was still using OS/2 he also visited various OS/2 echos as well as the PCBOARD echo.
In 2007 he moved to net 201 but kept his nodenumber. As we were both radio amateurs we had many contacts in various matters but we never had the chance to meet over the air.
From 2007 until the end, his system kept polling my system daily using plain ol' copper wire technology but now the phone has stopped ringing.
R.I.P Holger, aka Sam, we miss you!
73 Christer
----------------------------------------------------------------- Today we say farewell to an oldtimer.
Today we say farewell to an oldtimer. Holger Granholm, AKA 2:20/228. Or in the other hobby ON0NC. There is a fairly large overlap between the Fidonet community and the HAM community and me and Holger also shared that other hobby.
I do not recall ever having made an over the air contact with Holger, but I might have. And so I mourn the passing of a fellow Fidonet sysop and a Fellow HAM, now a silent key.
----------------------------------------------------------------- And then Holger is gone ... Ward Dossche - 2:292/854
February 5th 2022 was going to be a beautiful Saturday in early spring, as there can be that many ... the grandchildren were there, there was good food, there were drinks, laughter, joy ...
But somehow the day would not end as joyous as it started because somewhere while the minutes ticked away the Fidonet-wires grew a little more silent. Barely noticeable for the average lurker, something had changed ... Holger Granholm had left us.
Holger and I never met, our interactions were pure Fido-style but how wonderful they were. I always considered him the main tourist agency for the Aland island archipelago. He managed to send me piles of documentation and tried to lure me there for a vacation. His description was wonderful and very appealing, but it never materialized due to a number of irrelevant reasons.
We talked about the challenges of living on a Finnish island but connected to the world via Sweden ... and about global warming, the rising seas and Aland being that low. We talked about families in a way that only the intimacy of Fidonet affords us ... a man with a rainbow of talents and interests ...
Although we never had any physical interactions, when the news hit it felt as a loss anyway. I think Holger must have been a beautiful person, he will be mourned by his family and missed by his friends ... there was no way around it, one could only be his friend.
It's only 1 line in the nodelist but the void will be felt by all that were touched by him.
Signing-off .. unfortunately .. but thankful for a great friendship. =============================================================================
