Mr. Hollett taught me History at Prince Arthur in the late 1960's. He was not just a teacher but a fine role model for a boy. He suffered no fools. No pushover. But he was kind. Competent. Steady. He was the same out on the ice when I re-connected with him decades later.

Dear Heather, Janice & Ed, Jeffrey & Yvette and family; We are so sorry to learn of cousin Ted's passing. From his obituary, we can tell that Aunt Martha's love of teaching runs deep in the Hollett line. Sincere Condolences, Bob & Marie Braedley

I had the pleasure of working with Ted at Michael Wallace. I remember him as always being approachable, supportive and helpful. Ted was quick to smile and treated all students and staff fairly. My condolences to his family.

"Mr" Hollett was one of kind - During the years we knew him at Michael Wallace School he was kind, fair and a "principled principal"; always approachable and ready for a chat, a laugh, or to offer well needed advice. He was a legend in our books and his legacy will live on through the many stories his students will tell in the years to come - "without the trace of a shadow on it" We are so sorry for your loss - he will be greatly missed. The Woodbury Family

Ted was such a special person and always "the voice of reason" in committee meetings. He so loved Heather and his children. Always a quiet, gentleman but funny at the same time..a very quick wit. Randy, Heather, Ted and I had a great trip to Centre Stage Theatre in Kentville with supper in Grand Pre. Many times we said we would have to do it again but it didn't happen. Life gets in the way .. He will be so very missed. Kathy and Randy

Nothing but fond memories of a respected principal and neighbour.

I first met Ted at the Dartmouth Curling Club and very much enjoyed knowing him. Occasionally, I would run into him after he finished his Curling career and always took the time to catch up on news of his former friends from the club that he wasn't playing golf with now. Rest in peace Ted, great to have knowed you. Frank Carmichael

Heather & family: We were so sorry to hear from Alvin Nieforth yesterday about Ted's sudden passing. He was, a described in the obituary, a kind and gentle man. He was vice-principal when I substituted at Prince Arthur, and John taught with him at one time. So glad he wanted the poem shared. I heard it for the first time just last Saturday at the funeral for a 19-year old boy. It is a treasure to keep and remember. Please know you will be in our thoughts and prayers. Janet & John MacLennan

We were so fortunate to have had Ted for a friend during the past 50 years. There were so many good times and even difficult times shared along the way. But, in sad times, as well as the happiest times, Ted was always there for his friends. He was a good man who truly lived a good life in every aspect. We are going to miss you, Ted. Rest in peace.

I had and always will have the honour of calling you my grandfather. I know that you'll be looking down on me, shining a little bit of light whenever things get tricky. You and puppy up there, I know how proud you guys are of me, and this is only the beginning. I can't wait to show you the things I can do. I love you so much -Heidi ❤️

It took me years to call Mr. Hollett by his first name. To me he was the most professional and supportive principal I could have asked for as a new teacher. He encouraged both students and staff to do their best by being a wonderful example to us all. I remember being so sad when he left for his sabbatical year. Both Frank and I thought the world of him. Please know we are thinking about all of you. We share your grief. Janice and Frank Mason
