Bio

Richard Gentry drove a cement truck on Route 66 for 31 years and ate at Holland Burger Cafe since it opened in 1947. His wife Emma Jean Gentry worked at Holland Burger Cafe as a waitress for many years. In 1979 Richard bought the then Holland Burger Cafe, the oldest standing restaurant in the Victorville area, for his wife Emma Jean and re-named it Emma Jean's Holland Burger Café. Emma Jean passed away in 1996 and Richard in 2008. The café remains in the family and is now run by his son Brian Gentry and Brian's wife Shawna. Emma Jean's, because of its nostalgic mid century ambience, has been featured in a number of movies and television shows. Military Information: 2LT, US ARMY AIR FORCES
