Bruce Holcomb Obituary
He was born Feb. 23, 1933, to Wendell and Rachael Holcomb.
He was a 1950 graduate of Portville High School, Portville. Bruce earned an associate degree in horticultural science and worked as a landscaper for many years. He had lived in New York, Maryland, Florida and Maine, but especially enjoyed his summer cottage in Pennsylvania, which he considered home. He enjoyed fishing, gardening and the outdoors.
Bruce is survived by a niece, Anita (Ryan) Johnson of Jefferson; a nephew, Mike (Julie) Fusco of Mesa, Ariz.; and two great-nieces and one great-nephew.
He was preceded in death by his wife, Mildred Holcomb in 1993; a sister, Noreen Mulcahey in 2003; and his parents.
Services for his family will be private. The family was assisted by the Behm Family Funeral Home, Geneva, Ohio.
