March 10, 2015 , Auburn Hills, Mich. - 'The entire Fiat Chrysler family is deeply saddened by the passing of General Holiefield. He was a true partner, friend and mentor to many during his 40 years of service to Chrysler and the UAW,' Sergio Marchionne, CEO of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, said. 'Under his leadership, General helped guide the Company through one of the most difficult periods in its history. As a result, Fiat Chrysler was able to provide a secure future for those who chose to stay and for the nearly 15,000 new UAW-represented employees that have joined the company since June 2009. He was a champion of the Company's efforts to transform the culture within our manufacturing facilities, which has resulted in significant improvements for our employees and our products. When he retired in November 2013, he left Fiat Chrysler better positioned to compete in a global marketplace. He was one of our own and his mark will be forever present across the assembly lines in all of our U.S. facilities. We extend our sincerest sympathies to his family during this very difficult time,' Mr. Marchionne said.
