John Giles Combs

Memories of John arrive in a Flood. So many that they challenge me to focus on individual events. In recent days I have thought a lot about John's work as a weed warrior. This group addresses the alarming increase of invasive non-native plants. The invaders have dramatically changed our landscape and threaten to change it further. Any progress made in addressing the issue is slow and hard to measure. Many individuals choose to address issues where progress is easy to see. John...

There are many fond memories of Kammerer family gatherings. Our Dad´s youngest sister Marge and John were the cool ones! Trips to Rock Creek Park and other things to keep us busy were always fun. It gives me comfort to know that John lived life to the fullest with the love of his life until the very end. No illness or suffering until God decided it was time to bring him home. Those who are left behind with sadness will surely realize he was truly blessed.

We loved Uncle John so much!! I could send pictures of wildlife in SC and he told me what it was. So many good memories of him and Aunt Marge growing up and taking on the 6 Kammerer children for summer day trips. Amazing!!
