He was born Dec. 24, 1934, in Flushing, the son of the late Edward and Ethel (Johnson) Lincoln. Gordon was a graduate of Flushing High School.
He served his county in the United States Army, spending time in Germany, and was proud to have belonged to the Bamberg Garryowen, 7th Cav.

He also helped build the church's fellowship hall, which was dedicated in April 1990.
Gordon is survived by his wife, Joyce Lincoln of Thompsonville; four children Kevin (Renee) Groenevelt of Kentwood, Mark (Chris) Groenevelt and Bryan (Lorrie) Groenevelt, both of Traverse City, Diane Groenevelt and Lynn Michael Smith of Interlochen; seven grandchildren, Michael, Kyle, Evan, Ross, Ted, Ashley and Nathan Groenevelt; two brothers, Eugene (Joyce) Lincoln, Allen (Dora) Lincoln; four sisters, Beverly (Duane) Hoeft, Betty Pleschakow, Barb Savoie and Joyce Johnson; numerous nieces, nephews and cousins; and his yellow lab, Buddy.

Dear Joyce & Family,
Please accept our heartfelt condolences on the passing of Gordon. Gordon was a very special person who made loving thy neighbor very easy to do. Upon relocating to the Thompsonville area approximately 3 years ago, we were blessed with 2 very dear friends, Gordon & Joyce Lincoln. Upon meeting our new neighbors, we found that Gordon Lincoln was very highly respected by all we met. In fact, respected may be inadequate to describe our neighbors feelings towards...

I am always saddend when someone dies, although they are at peace, we still miss them so much. What comforts me the most is the promises Jesus made of a resurrection (john 11:25) and of Seeing again and living forever (John 3:16,36; Psalm 37:29) with our loved ones, in Paradise (luke 23:43). What also comforts me is that these promises may also comfort your family as well. “Blessed are those who mourn, since they will be comforted” (math5:40; 2Cor1:3,4)
Sincerely, Dan Danza...

Aunt Joyce, I was so saddened by the news of Uncle Gordy's passing. I had planned to come over this week to visit as I have a meeting in T.C. on Friday. He was such a fighter and my sisters told me how high his spirits were when they saw him at the birthday party. I have such wonderful memories of him that I will hold dear forever and knowing first hand how bad things can get when stricken with that nasty disease, I am truly greatful that his pain and suffering has ended. I only hope that the...

Dear Aunt Joyce,
Words could never begin to express how much Uncle Gordy has meant to me in my lifetime, or how my heart aches at his passing. Yet, even through the tears, I find so much comfort in knowing that he knew Christ as his personal Saviour, and will be with Him in heaven for the rest of eternity. I'm sure that Mom and Grandma & Grandpa were standing right behind Jesus with open arms of welcome.
I pray that you will be hugged tightly in God's embrace of comfort, and...

I've been away for many years, but the memories of Gordy, T-ville, snowmobiles, dogs, pool.....I could go on forever. My earliest memory was M&M's he gave me--mom later said he was watching me while she had Scotty!!! What a way to watch---candy. Love and prayers to you. May God continue to Bless and Watch over you.
