Dear Wanda and George, Thinking of you as you celebrate Chris’s life and death. “I only borrowed this dust. What made it dance, I do not know. Sometimes Joy and sometimes Woe.” ... Blake & Kunitz Rod Rippel From: George Holcombe via OE Sent: Tuesday, September 15, 2015 7:24 AM To: ica/OE List Serves ; ICA/OE List Serves Subject: Re: [Oe List ...] Death of Chris Holcombe We lost our Son, Chris, Sunday to cancer. He was a grand human being, ask anyone who knew him and many of you did. Raised partially in a ghetto, in Asia, lived among Aboriginals in Australia. Studied Broadcasting out of High School. Dropped out of college twice. Learned trades, managed fast food restaurants. Self taught himself about computers and worked for several Hi Tech companies the last being Apple where he was employed throughout his illness. Had his own interview radio program on a local station. Was a photographer. SXSW being one of the events he shot, Had 2 sons and a granddaughter, and all this touches only the surface, and of course he was part of our community. Always one to lift the mood, be respectful and ask the next question. At his request, we will hold a Memorial Celebration of his life at the Wells Branch Community Center on Saturday, September 26. Thanks to everyone who have extended their condolences. We miss him deeply. George Holcombe 14900 Yellowleaf Tr.
