Joseph Combs Obituary
Cincinnati - Joseph Combs, 82, passed away January 8, 2021 in Cincinnati, Ohio.
Born April 5, 1938 in Cincinnati, Ohio, Joe was the only son of Joseph and Edith Combs. He graduated from Hughes High School, served in the U.S. Army, earned a black belt in Karate from the Yoseikan Dojo in Covington Kentucky, and retired from General Electric.
Joe was gifted with a clever sense of humor and sharp wit and always had a good joke or story to tell. He loved being outdoors where he enjoyed boating, camping, fishing and drinking ice-cold beer.
He is survived by his three children, Joseph (Misty) Combs, Vicky Combs, and Kimberly (Scott) Febo, eight grandchildren, and his great grandchildren. He was predeceased by his second wife, Brenda.
There will be no funeral service due to COVID-19. A celebration of life will be held for Joe at a later date.
