Russell Louis Kincaid, age 95, passed away on Sunday December 28th, 2025, at the Merrimack Hospice House after a short bout with pneumonia. He was surrounded by close family and passed peacefully.

Russell was the son of Clyde and Evelyn Kincaid, born June 23rd, 1930, in Brunswick, Maine. Soon after graduating from Brunswick High School in 1952, he was drafted into the US Army. Before reporting to duty, he eloped with his high school sweetheart, Marie, and they were married at Hampton Beach, NH in July. He served as a teacher of radio communications during the Korean war. After being discharged from the army, he attended school at RPI in Troy, NY. Upon graduation, he moved to Milford, NH to take a job with Sanders Associates in Nashua doing electrical engineering and design. He left Sanders and went to Sprague Electric for a few years, also in Nashua, and then went back to Lockheed Sanders until his retirement at age 59.5.

In retirement he did electronic design consulting for various companies and started his own business. He was a frequent contributor to Nuts and Volts magazine and they offered him a question and answer column. He also tried his hand in Real Estate for a few years, working for Kokko Reality in Milford.

His hobbies included boating, motorcycles, and camping with his family. He enjoyed being outdoors cutting timber, gardening, working on his tractors, and making maple syrup every spring.

Russell was a resident of Milford for 65 years, and during that time, served on several boards pertaining to the schools.

He is survived by his loving wife of 73 years, Marie (Hodgdon) Kincaid, six children and their spouses, Wayne Kincaid and Jill Jarvis of Milford, Nancy McKay of Lyndeborough, Patricia and Dave Bartlett of Chichester, Thomas and Denise Kincaid of Milford, William and Jodi Kincaid of Milford, Susan and Keith Ledoux of Merrimack, 23 grandchildren, 14 great grandchildren, and 1 great great grandchild.
