ONEONTA - Lincoln D. Abrams was born on April 28, 1922, in Patchogue and peacefully passed away on April 28, 2016, at Fox Nursing Home in Oneonta.

Lincoln served in the 84th infantry division from 1942 to 1946. After seeing combat all over Europe during World War II, including the Battle of the Bulge, Lincoln was honorably discharged.

He and his wife Virginia moved from Long Island in 1970 to Andes, where he and Virginia owned the Tremperskill Country Store until he retired. Also as a carpenter, he built several homes in the area. When he finally retired, he worked as a groundskeeper for the Andes Cemetery for eight years.

Lincoln was predeceased by three older brothers and three older sisters; his wife, Virginia Abrams; and daughter, Patricia Scinta.

He is survived by his son and daughter-in-law, Michael and Cathi Abrams of Arizona; son-in-law, Vincent Scinta of Andes; two granddaughters and their spouses, Julene and Jeffrey Waffle of Laurens and Jeanine Scinta-Sass and Richard Sass of Andes; two grandsons, Michael and Thomas Abrams and his wife, Lyla of Arizona; five great-grandsons and two great-grandaughters, Lincoln, Levi, and Lucas Waffle, Faith and Liem Sass and Aidan and Emily Abrams; and his dear friend, Hedy Rendler.

No matter where Lincoln went or with whom he visited, Lincoln loved to tell a good story and he always enjoyed a good laugh. He will be greatly missed.

Friends and relatives are invited to call on the family from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., Wednesday, May 4, at the MacArthur Funeral Home, where a funeral service will be held at 1 p.m., with the Rev. Derek Johnson officiating. Burial with full military honors will follow in Andes Cemetery.
