February 16, 2021 at 11:05 pmMy Wife Robin and I were so sorry to hear of Lincoln’s passing, and know none of our words can provide the necessary comfort you all need at such a time.
Please know we are Praying to our FATHER in Heaven, through Christ Jesus our LORD to provide the shoulder to lean on, and cry on, as well as Comfort as only HE can.
I can’t believe it was only a couple of years ago we were talking about how Link had recovered from another Health scare.
May the LORD Bless you in this time of mourning.
In Christ alone

February 19, 2021 at 8:30 pmGarrett, Melissa and family, we are truly sorry for your tremendous loss. 46 years ago Linc took a chance and hired an 18 year old kid interested in the trade. I worked for him for 7 years, he always had a strong work ethic and attention to detail. Linc instilled in me a life long love and appreciation of quality carpentry. I am honored to have known him and work for him. I am grateful for his teaching, wisdom., talent, and many wonderful memories. Rest In Peace Linc.

March 2, 2021 at 8:31 pmLincoln was one of the good ones. He worked hard, told you what was on his mind ,always available to lend a hand or make a suggestion . I haven’t seen Lincoln for a few years but knew that when we met I would get a huge smile & strong handshake & we would immediately start yapping away & joking with each other. It’s sad to know that his friends & especially his family will miss having him around.
Lincoln was a good man.
Marty Boyle says
March 12, 2021 at 5:39 amOur heart is broken. He was one of the good guys, who was always there for you whenever you needed him. His laugh will always be remembered and his voice still rings in our ears. Rest my friend.
Tom & Peggy Graf says
March 14, 2021 at 9:48 pmThe Lord took another one of “the good guys” home. Thank you Vicki and all of the Klaver family for sharing him with us all. We are all better for having known him.
Mike DeCicco says
March 17, 2021 at 3:26 pmI only knew Lincoln for a very short time, but it was such a privilege to have know him. Any time I spoke to Lincoln the conversation left me in a better place and usually with a big smile on my face. Every time the conversation came to a close he ended it with ” I appreciate you”. Gonna miss him.
Rush Family says
April 26, 2021 at 3:30 pmI’ve known Lincoln since I was little and had the privilege of growing up with him. We remained in touch while our families grew and ended up moving. He was so much more than just construction awards. He was a terrific father (& grandfather) who always boasted about his children (including Louise’s daughters). He was the type of man who you could rely on. With one phone call, he would be driving over to help and share a congratulatory beer with. Above all else he was a man of love & deep friendship. My heart goes out to Louise at this difficult time. God blessed us with his earthly presence and now he blesses us from above. You are deeply missed my friend.
Marco Acevedo says
May 9, 2021 at 3:07 pmLincoln, we recently found out about your departure. My husband Marco and I couldn’t believe it. We will always remember your good humor, your laughter, and your good heart to help people. We were very fortunate to meet you. We will always remember you, my children, my husband, and I. You were a great friend to us. Always will remember you in our conversations when you told us to call 1-800-Lincoln if we need any help. We hold you in our hearts and pray for your wife and children so that God will fill them with peace and comfort.
With love Jenny & Marco Acevedo.
