Mr. Holbrook was a member of the Winamac VFW Post #1728 and St. Peter's Catholic Church in Winamac. As owner of Holbrook's Market, he found great joy in interacting with the customers he served. He was a hard worker and took great pride in a job well done. He enjoyed the outdoors, especially camping, gardening and grilling out. He was an avid NASCAR fan and enjoyed watching sports on TV. Most of all, he loved spending time with his family, especially being "Grampa" to Abigail. He will be dearly missed by all who knew and loved him.

Visitation will be from 2 to 7 p.m., Sunday, July 21, at Frain Mortuary, Winamac. The funeral service will be at 10 a.m., Monday, July 22, at the funeral home with Rev.

In memory of Mr. Holbrook, donations may be made to Winamac VFW Post #1728, or the family requests that trees or flowers be planted in honor of his love for nature.
