Joe H. Combast was born October 30, 1946, in Decatur County, Georgia, to Jonnie Combast and Lelia Hutto Combast. Joe grew up in and around Climax, Georgia. One of his first jobs was milking cows for a dairy. The job he worked for most of his life and the one he enjoyed was driving a log truck. Joe had a kind heart and a humble spirit. He was very friendly and loved to talk. He never met a stranger. Joe loved to get in his car and ride the back roads. His favorite thing to do was eat out. He especially loved seafood and fish. His sweet smile and gentle nature will not be forgotten.
