For many personnel at Fort Knox, that saying goes a long way in describing Emmet Holley.
Holley leaves behind 19 years of dedicated federal civilian service to the area as the deputy for U.S. Army Garrison-Fort Knox. He retired Friday.
Those who know him best say he leaves behind a lot more than that.
âEmmet is the best. When it came to exemplifying leadership, his actions actually spoke louder than words,â said Pat Walsh, former director of Fort Knox Directorate of Public Works. âHe always led by example. He would never ask his staff to do anything he wouldnât do himself.â
