Mr Holmes served in the Royal Navy from 1939 until 1945.
His nephew, Stephen Darkins, said he would share many tales from his time in the armed forces.
"One of his favourites was that he got torpedoed twice," he said.
"Once was on Christmas Eve in 1942 when the ship sank on Christmas Day and he managed to get out.
"He always said, 'I was torpedoed twice but never got my feet wet'."

After the heat and humidity of yesterday, today will be a bit cooler and fresher.
It's a fine start but quickly cloud will feed in from the north west with perhaps a few spots of rain across the north of the region.
However, it should be a dry day for many of us with some sunshine at times and temperatures around 20C to 22C (68F to 72F).
This evening should remain dry with clear spells and it should stay settled overnight, with temperatures down to about 10C (50F).
