Norman D. Coombs

Norman Coombs died Dec. 2, 2022 following a fall at his residence near Brookville, Ind.  He was born May 22, 1934 in Hamilton. He is survived by daughter Kim Coombs and grandson Morgan Coombs, who live on the Coombs farm in Lindale, Clermont County, and by brother Bill Coombs of Hamilton.

Norman was a championship golfer at Hamilton High, a graduate of Ohio State, and 2nd Lt. In the U.S. Army.  He loved to drive his cars across the country.  He attempted many creative endeavors – poetry, a novel, band arrangements. But from a young age he was a successful tournament bridge player, and that occupied much of his later life. He won many regional and one national title, and just last month was #62 on the lifetime achievement roll, with over 26,000 masterpoints.
