Some sad news comes our way from the APBA Game Company. Long time employee and representative of the APBA Company Veryl Lincoln passed away this week at the age of 70.

I’ve met Veryl a couple times at APBA Conventions and he struck me as not only a dedicated staff member but a good customer service representative who cared about the fan base. He also loved the game of APBA. A friendly, honest man, Veryl made a good team with fellow APBA staff member Skeet Carr as they both talked to fans about the APBA games at conventions. You knew when you were talking to Veryl that it was real.
Deservedly so, Veryl was inducted into the APBA Hall of Fame in 2002. It was no coincidence that he and Skeet were inducted as a pair that year.
For those in the Lancaster, PA area, there will be a memorial service for Veryl Lincoln on June 23 at 11am at the Kraft Funeral Home in Landisville.
RIP, Veryl. Thank you for everything you have done for the APBA community.
Sad to hear about Mr. Lincoln. His devotion to APBA was, in no small part, responsible for the level of detail and service that APBA provided for many, many years. Every member of the APBA community owes him a great debt of gratitude.
Sad. Another part of APBA passes away into the sunset.
