Obituary

Orlando, FL – Franklin (Frank) Lincoln, 74, of Durand, IL passed away Sunday, March 27, 2022 peacefully at Vitas Hospice after a short illness. Born in Freeport, IL on March 18, 1948, he was the son of the late Velbur (Bud) and Marian Lincoln.

He was a dairy farmer by heart and later drove semi-trucks across country and finished his working journey at Wal-Mart as a greeter where he never met a stranger.

Frank’s favorite hobby was working around the farm. He had a gift of fixing almost everything. He enjoyed camping, watching Western movies and “shooting the bull” with friends.

He is survived by his four children; Penny (Rob) Branch, Longwood, FL, Robin (Henry) Wimberly, Clarksville, TN, Tricia (John) Taylor, Joelton, TN and Troy Lincoln, Springfield, TN. Also his sister, Jean Lincoln, Freeport, IL and brother Roger (Deb) Lincoln, Unionville, MO, a nephew, a niece. He was proud of his 15 grandchildren and 6 great grandchildren and had so many cousins and friends there are too many to mention.

A Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday July 2, 2022 in the Nashville, TN area and details will be shared at a later date. Relatives and friends are invited to attend. Arrangements by Baldwin Brothers, Winter Park, FL.

    I remember Frank from our high school days. He was one of Harry Vale's FFA member and loved everything related to farming. May you rest in peace, Frank.

    Dad, I’m not exactly sure where to begin? You kept us on our toes, cracked us up and made us cringe from time to time! Lol But through it all you remained the same…one of the hardest working men of all time! You fought to the very end with dignity and your usual feisty attitude and occasional inappropriate jokes! We wouldn’t have expected it any other way!

    Thank you for showing us your love to the very end! You have touched so many people’s lives and you are so greatly missed here on earth. We are comforted to know you are in heaven with Grandma and Grandpa. Please give them a big hug for all of us!!

    You may be gone, but you are not forgotten. Please know we will continue to tell Papaw stories and laugh at your brutally honest comments!

    We love you. We miss you. Thank you for being you! And as I’ve always said, you were “one of a kind!” ❤️
