Rev. Dr. James O. Combs

We used to have a grey cat.

Pastor Combs introduced us in 1963 and officiated our marriage in June 1965 . . we just celebrated 48 years of marriage. He held a special place in our lives and was a wonderful pastor and teacher during our time at Olivet Baptist. Our condolences to Jeri and Karis and all who loved this good man.

Pastor Combs was more than a pastor to our family, he was family. He is responsible for our marriage (that was 58 yrs. ago) & always liked to kid us about forgetting to send our marriage license in. Our chili dinners were not complete without Jeri & Jimmy-the memories go on & on.
Heaven gained a sweet, sweet soul & I can imagine him, with his vast gift of knowledge, discussing all the things that he might have questions about, with their authors. What a blessed hope we have that we will...

Pastor Combs was a great friend to our entire family, the Graves family. I have very fond memories of him & his wife Jeri at many of our family gatherings. He will be missed by so many here, but I'm sure he has had a great reunion in heaven with many who have gone before him! My condolences to Jeri & his entire family & all who loved this wonderful man.
