Allan Cobourn

POLAND – Allan Cobourn, 76, of Columbiana, passed away on Thursday, May 27, 2021 at Hospice House in Poland with his wife at his side.

He was born May 26, 1945, in Salem, a son of Burtt and Carolyn (Eyrich) Cobourn.  A 1963 graduate of Crestview High School, he proudly served in the U.S. Navy during the Vietnam War.  Allan married the former Linda Johnson on July 25, 1970.
