He visited his family every three weeks. \"He didn\'t forsake us,\" said Flossie Holmes. \"He just didn\'t have anything to give.\" The family survived on welfare.
To help support his family, Holmes dropped out of school when he was in the seventh grade and went to work at a car wash for $1 an hour. He later drove a dump truck and worked in a quarry.
