Southeast Missouri Athletics Hall of Fame
The Holcombs have been active supporters of Southeast Athletics. John served as a team physician at Southeast for more than 30 years and was a member of the Booster Board/Redhawks Club Board and an athletics season ticket holder for many years. John and Judy made significant gifts to the Athletics Complex Campaign in the early 1990s, the Houck Stadium Campaign in 1999 and 2000, and the Top 20 Club from 2000-2005. They also established the John Holcomb Endowed Baseball Scholarship in 2012 and have a great affinity for Capaha Field, where Dr. Holcomb played baseball in his youth. He also played on the Southeast basketball team his freshman year before serving in the U.S. Navy. Most recently, the Holcombs donated a gift that paved the way for major extensive renovation of the weight room which is now named the Holcomb Success Center.
