I always enjoyed talking with Dan Holiday during First Friday Art Walks at his store. From St. Augustine Record:
Daniel “Dan” Holiday, 89, of St. Augustine, Florida passed away April 27, 2025, at his residence. He was a native of Owls Head, New York and resided in St. Augustine for over 65 years.
Dan was a veteran of the United States Navy, a member of Trinity Episcopal Church and the Ashlar Masonic Lodge for 65 years. He was the original sandal man, owning Dan Holiday Leather Shop for many years. Prior to his leather business, Dan opened and operated Café Collage on St. George Street and lived at the original keeper’s house for the St. Augustine Lighthouse. He was an avid pilot, a founder and the first president of the St. Augustine Pilot Association. Dan loved to travel and visited many countries around the world, his favorite being South Africa.
Dan is survived by his wife, Candace Carroll and daughter Elizabeth van Rensburg.
A funeral service will be held at Trinity Episcopal Church, 215 St. George Street St. Augustine, FL 32084 on Tuesday, May 6, 2025, at 11:30am. A burial service with Masonic Rites will be held at Evergreen Cemetery, 505 North Rodriguez Street St. Augustine, FL 32084 at 3pm.
