Condolence: Pat & Family--So sorry to hear about Bob's passing. He was a good friend and a good fellow police officer. I had great respect for him as we worked several police cases together. We enjoyed a good working police relationship both when he was the Chief of Hamilton PD and when he was the Director of Security for Colgate. Sorry I won't be able to make calling hours or the funeral as we will be out of town. However, our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Lee Pavlot, NYSP Retired.

Condolence: Dear Pat & family, Our deepest Condolences. Bob was a good guy. He always said hello when we would see each other. When my father passed Bob was very helpful to my mom and she still talks about him today.

Condolence: To Pat & Family - I'm so sorry to hear of Bob's passing. Our thoughts go out to all of you.

Condolence: My deepest sympathies to the Holcomb family. Mr. Holcomb was one of my Hamilton favorites! I was always guaranteed a smile and huge hug whenever I saw him. A great loss to the Hamilton community! My thoughts are with you all. Tammy Jaquay Cenci

Condolence: Dear Holcomb Family, We're so sad to hear the news of Whities' passing. He was a fixture in our lives, our childrens'and so many others. I don't think there is a single community project he didn't run or volunteer for. His devotion to the community was legend. He loved his wife Pat and all his children and grandchildren so well. We'll always revere and remember him as the model of the civic minded family man he was. Sincerely, Matt, Denise and Peter Leone

Condolence: For the entire Holcomb family, I am so sorry for your loss. I have known Bob for many years and he has always been one of my favorite people. He always had a manner about him that exuded confidence and reliance. He was a great man who will be missed by many, many people.

Condolence: To Pat and the entire Holcomb Family, Our heartfelt condolences in the loss of your husband and Dad. Your entire family has been dedicated to serving our community in so many different ways. I suspect it started with Bob! TO Dick and Karen: Thank you for all your support over the past year. To Meggy and Ethan - sorry about your Grandpa. Bob, rest in peace....and I'm ok now with the parking ticket you gave me while working for Colgate security when I was a student :) We couldn't get much past you!

Condolence: I am profoundly grateful for my Uncle Bob. He infused my childhood with a sense of safety, security, and reassurance. He was a role model for community engagement and leadership. Bob showed how to put public in public safety. If you lived around Hamilton, Bob Holcomb was looking out for you. Always taking care. Whenever times were tough for me, Uncle Bob was there - present, caring, supportive. He made my life better. Love to my Aunt Pat and my cousins, and Uncle Bob.

Condolence: Dear Bobby,David and family, I am so sorry to learn of your father's passing. He was someone I always admired growing up. Thinking of you and wishing you comfort.

Condolence: Dear Pat, Dick and Karen we are so sorry for your loss, know that Bob is reunited with all that have left us and will guide you all along the way. We will reminisce by the camp fire.....

Condolence: I was very sad to hear of Bob's passing. I have many good memories of Bob and Jim while growing up in Hamilton. Both boys meant a lot to my Dad, Manley Safford. I remember Bob and Pat's wedding. My sympathy to all of the family.

Condolence: Heartfelt thoughts and prayers to Pat and beloved family on the passing of a good man, husband, father, grandfather, brother and friend to so many, for so long.

Condolence: My sincere sympathy to Bob's family. I have known him since I was young. He was my school bus driver at HHS. I have grown to care and respect him for his love of family, storytelling and outdoors. He and his wife Pat have been a great support for my family and I shall cherish them always!
