I knew George from our work in Uptown. We were in the small group that was assigned to be the first Uptown 5 team and he was our leader (and a great leader he was). It was a time of planting sod in the broiling sun to beautify a pocket park and a time of dancing at the Aragon Ballroom for the Seniors Valentine Day Dance.

Dear Wanda and colleagues, What a wonderful way to prepare for the Last Hurrah, Final Transition, or Grand Homecoming when our breath becomes air! George, you have stayed true to your love and compassion for community which I first witnessed as a 5th City Board of Manager when you were our primary guru introducing us to the ins and outs of comprehensive leadership development. We met daily in a small, hot annex near the PreSchool in '68-69 where all of the space was taken up by a 4 rectangular table arrangement. with a blackboard at the designated front of the room. And we absorbed RS1 and tools and methods needed by our local leadership to take responsibility for actualizing our hopes and dreams and to eventually do this out of state. Lila Mosley was the first to be sent out after ably sharing talks that we rehearsed in that little hot annex down the street from the 3444 West Van Buren complex. It was during that summer's ending celebration in the Program Center that JWM ended his talk proclaiming to the community that "we needed to be together". And I took those words to heart and risked marrying into this group of social revolutionaries proclaiming by word and deed the manifestation of Those Who Care. George, you were the one who brought The Call into our community and helped to instill the "Institute" wisdom reforming a desert into a place of hope and forecast it for years to come. So, have a glass of lemonade on me, George! For that was the beverage of choice during those hot summer days 52 years ago that released a new kind of human into the world. The Lingo family later journeyed on with you and the staff for India's ITI in 71'. And now, please know, George, you continue to play an extraordinary part of the Movemental legacy of resurgent renewal of Community in these challenging times...We believe there's room at the table for all faiths, classes, and races to share in the emerging bounty awaiting the equitable distribution of All of the gifts to All the people. Thanks for embodying and sharing that Vision... Kindfully yours, dawn collins We love the Final Reality because the Final Reality loved us first.- 1 John 4:19 On Saturday, July 25, 2020, 06:44:08 PM MDT, Marianna Bailey via OE <oe@lists.wedgeblade.net> wrote: George,I remember you from Chicago 5th City, Dallas Texas, but the one that stands out is the Philippines and in particular the human development project in Davao.I had taken a young woman from our church.

Folks, while it is fine to post George Holcomb remembrances here, be sure to ALSO send them in one of the ways Wanda suggests. George will NOT see postings only to the list! You can always cc Wanda's email. Time may be very short, please follow Wanda's instructions so George can see your reflections.

When you weren't speaking you were always watching, you could always see . . .

George, Wanda, the Holcombe family, and Colleagues, Yesterday I saw a young man wearing a graphic t-shirt that simply said "Blessed". With seven letters in a rainbow of colors.So I thought of you, George. And I'm sorry I can't get a t-shirt to send you.But I can simply say this much: you are Blessed, George. And part of our experience is that you have blessed and honored and inspired so many others. Known and unknown to us.I get that this message, if it gets through somehow, will be filtered through your experience of being in a liminal, transitional state of passage into an unknown reality beyond the everyday preoccupations of the living.But what I remember of you is that twinkle in your eye, and that knowing connection with others around you, and that sly, humorous spirit that beckons us to open up to un-dreamed-of possibilities by sailing forth into uncharted waters.You have been blessed to embody fully, wherever you are, that ineffable spirit of Fifth City and demonstrate Care for all humanity and for the earth.And forever blessed to simply Be your Be (as JWM said about Richard Niebuhr) in and for Eternity.So that all of us can participate with you. In humility, gratitude, and compassion.Go in Grace, brother.(And all who read this said Amen.)

As one who was not part of the Order I was not privileged to have the extended memories of George that you have. But I am enough of a ‘fellow traveler’ to have been in his presence enough to have known he has been a man of deep faith and missional intention. Continue to journey, George. Bud Tillinghast SF LCX

Yesterday I saw a young man wearing a graphic t-shirt that simply said "Blessed". With seven letters in a rainbow of colors. So I thought of you, George. And I'm sorry I can't get a t-shirt to send you. But I can simply say this much: you are Blessed, George. And part of our experience is that you have blessed and honored and inspired so many others. Known and unknown to us. I get that this message, if it gets through somehow, will be filtered through your experience of being in a liminal, transitional state of passage into an unknown reality beyond the everyday preoccupations of the living. But what I remember of you is that twinkle in your eye, and that knowing connection with others around you, and that sly, humorous spirit that beckons us to open up to un-dreamed-of possibilities by sailing forth into uncharted waters. You have been blessed to embody fully, wherever you are, that ineffable spirit of Fifth City and demonstrate Care for all humanity and for the earth. And forever blessed to simply Be your Be (as JWM said about Richard Niebuhr) in and for Eternity. So that all of us can participate with you. In humility, gratitude, and compassion. Go in Grace, brother. (And all who read this said Amen.)

One of George’s greatest pleasures in life was sharing & hearing stories about other people. He built his life around understanding diverse cultures and caring for others. We would like to honor this by asking YOU to participate in Creating a LIVING MEMORIAL by sharing your favorite memories of George so we can share these with him NOW.
George has been battling Pancreatic Cancer for almost 3 years. He has chosen to begin his last life’s Journey with the care of Hospice & family.

In working on the Paul Evans tapes I chanced to listen to George’s Sanctification talk: Radical Integrity. Right on target for the times. I found all together 5 tapes that recorded George’s unique speaking style as well as the Cabaret band, George’s report on the Uptown 5 lab and talk on the Ecumenical Parish. I’ll look to put a page together on the Global Archives Website for all of these. Here’s the Sanctification Lecture on Radical Integrity. For me George was truly one of our Saints. https://icaglobalarchives.org/talks-by-george-holcumbe/ I will add more to this page after a little editing on the remaining files.
