Born on March 27, 1940, in Webster Springs, West Virginia, to the late William R. and Susan V. (Carpenter) Holcomb. Richard lived a life marked by devotion, hard work, and a strong sense of community. Richard was a cherished member of the First Baptist Church of Havre de Grace, MD, where he dedicated much of his life to his church and his church family. His commitment to taking care of the church was a reflection of his unwavering faith and dedication.
