Robert (“Bob”) A. Lincicome, a long-time resident of Sun City Center, Fla., and Sebago, passed away on March 3, 2023.

He was the son of Arthur and Myrtle Lincicome of Urbana, Ill., and was born on
October 30, 1929. His early years were spent in Urbana until the family moved to Chicago. As a teenager, he spent summers in Urbana, where he worked summer jobs at the University of Illinois Dept. of Agriculture. He completed high school at the Chicago University Lab School. He moved on to the University of Illinois where he was a member of Acacia fraternity and earned his bachelor degree. He then enlisted in the U.S. Army where he served for two years, working with munitions.

He had a successful career in journalism and his employment in the power industry necessitated several moves and afforded him the opportunity to travel in Europe and Canada and, in time, become the editor of the Electric Power and Light Magazine.

In his personal life, he was active in the Boy Scouts. He was involved in little theatre and had lead roles in the productions of The Man of LaMancha and The King and I. His hobby was painting and it brought him great joy. He was an active soloist in the churches the family attended. He was an avid pilot and loved having his own plane. He was a Master Mason in the Grand Lodge of Massachusetts for 56 years and affiliated with the Kora Shriners of Lewiston.

Following retirement, he served his communities, becoming an Emergency Medical Technician licensed in both Maine and Florida. After 15 years he began his second retirement and en- joyed life with his family, traveling between Maine and Florida.

He was preceded in death by his parents, and by his first wife, the former Joyce Munro Brewer. He is survived by his wife of 21 years, Jane Strickland Lincicome; daughters Julia Withers (Robert “Jake”) of Attleboro, Mass.; Katherine Whittier (Stephen “Steve”) of Naples, Fla.; stepdaughters, Lisa Adkins-Cepurna (Richard) of Marietta Ga.; Tracy Pyle (Larry) of Nashville, Tenn.; two granddaughters Jennifer Dirzius (Matt) of Sanderstown R.I.; and Amy Kapilow-Cohen (Liam) of Norfolk Mass., and four great-grandchildren.

He was a talented painter and vocalist and all-around great father, grandfather, great-grandfather and a terrific husband. He was well lived and well loved.

He is sorely missed.

A celebration of life will be held later. Burial will be in Sebago.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Lifepath Hospice or to the Sun City Center Emergency Squad.
