Henry Karl Holzhauer formerly of Navarre Ave. in Oregon passed away November 6 in 2003. Henry was born in Elyria, Ohio, on September 17, 1911, and was the son of Lawrence and Nellie (Albrecht) Holzhauer. He graduated from Elyria High School and the Ohio State University. Henry came to Toledo to work for Sealtest Dairy where he was Plant Superintendent in charge of operations, and he met his future bride, Bernice Bossler. His employment was interrupted by service in World War II in the Pacific theater. Upon his return to Toledo, he married Bernice in 1946. She passed away in 1989. Henry was an avid gardener with a particular interest in dahlias. He traveled to many Midwest dahlia shows over the years, and received numerous awards for his prized flowers. The Toledo Blade featured his flowers many times over the years. He was a past president of the Toledo Dahlia Association and was a senior judge for the American Dahlia Association. He was also affectionately known as the Flower Man, at the corner of Navarre and Wheeling in Oregon. His prized dahlias and other types of flowers were admired by thousands of people, passing by that corner for over 50 years. He was a Trustee and Elder at Eastminster United Presbyterian Church. Henry is survived by his children SarahJane and Robert (Jackie), his beloved grandsons Carl, James, and David, sisters-in-law Clara Holzhauer and Leona House, cousins Vivian Peabody and Idabelle (Charles) Berg, and 3 nephews, a niece, and several grandnieces and nephews.
