Robert Sewell Combs Jr.

Robert Sewell Combs, Jr., 84, of Kingsland, Texas passed away February 17, 2019. He was born to Robert Sr., and Nola Elizabeth (Durflinger) Combs on July 13, 1934 in Indianapolis, Indiana.

Bob proudly served his country in the United States Army from 1951-1964. He lied about his age and joined at sixteen and rose to the rank of Captain before his honorable discharge. Bob met his wife Gail when the two of them lived in California. After getting married they traveled extensively in their motor home, while living in California, Georgia, and New Mexico, before settling in Kingsland, Texas in 2004. Bob was a great communicator, he loved meeting and talking to new people everywhere he went, from people in his neighborhood to HEB, even random people from the many trips across country in the motorhome. He never met a stranger. He loved his grandchildren very much and was quick to brag on them and pull out and show the many photographs he kept in his wallet.

He is survived by his loving wife of thirty-two years, Gail Combs of Kingsland, Texas, daughter, Rebecca Piper of Leander, Texas, step-daughters, Elizabeth Umbach of The Woodlands, Texas, and Kathleen Triolo of Charlottesville, Virginia, grandchildren, Stephen Piper, Morghan Piper, Gray Umbach, Brynn Gray, and Michael Triolo.

He is preceded in death by his parents and one brother.
