Lincoln Purkis Gilman

So sorry to hear of Linc's passing. Such a wonderful man who had a profound impact on my life. He loved his family and was a truly devoted friend. Many fond memories and he will be sorely missed. My deepest sympathies to the family.

It is with heavy hearts that we think of you all. Wishing you the love that is "The Gilmans", and thank you for everything, Lincoln, especially your family. Love, more than you know, Scott and Janet Berry

Our sincere condolences to the Gilman families. Linc was a wonderful, outgoing person (soul). One fond memory I have was of my sister riding her bike in to Portland to work at Together Leather and bringing home leather clothing. When Linc lived in Buxton, we saw him occasionally when Edward was participating in martial arts class. Please know that our caring thoughts are with all of you.

Just last week we were talking about Lincoln-coincidentally, with no knowledge that he was ill. We were remembering how warm and generous he was with us when we were new to Maine. He truly wanted to share the bounty of his life which he clearly appreciated so much: the family life he had cultivated, his wisdom and skills built through his hard work. To all of you who were close to him, we are so very sorry for your loss. He was a great man.

Our families were close, good friends for many years as our fathers were associated with the IGA grocery brand here in Maine. Many fond memories, including a lot of laughs, were shared between the Gilmans and us. So sad that both Mike and now Linc are both gone, dying so young. Wonderful, solid people who would have your back. I actually worked for a while at the Seamen's Club when it first opened back in the less hectic Old Port days. Great fun and experience. Condolences to Steve and the...

My deepest sympathies are extended to the whole family. I am so lucky to have many happy memories with Linc, Sue, and Tommy. My life is much brighter for having known him, even though that time was much too short!

Linc was a gentle giant. He was one of the kindest people we knew and his salty language always made for good conversation and lots of laughter. Together with Mike and Steve, they were an unbeatable trio. He will be greatly missed. All our love to the Gilman family.
