Herbert E. Blincoe, Jr.

Herbert Eugene Blincoe Jr., 72, passed in his sleep on Friday, November 25, 2022.
He was born November 23, 1950, in Louisville Kentucky to Herbert Eugene Blincoe Sr and Nancy (Alexander) Blincoe.
 
Herbie, as he was affectionately known, matriculated in the Jefferson County School system where he attended Manual High School.  Upon leaving school, he worked several jobs—Louisville Water Company, JCPS Gheens and Southland Terrace, before eventually settling on a career in Security.  
 
Herbie was a Christian and periodically attended St. Stephen Baptist Church, Louisville Kentucky.  However, in the early 2000’s he renewed his Christian commitment and joined Mt. Vernon Baptist Church, Louisville Kentucky where he was baptized and faithfully served on the Adult Usher Board Ministry.  
 
Herbie took pride in his children and his appearance; his work uniforms were always pressed and creased, and his earlier years can be remembered by his impeccable afro or the hats he wore to match his well-coordinated outfits. In his later years, he enjoyed watching NASCAR, his U of L Cardinals, and most of all, watching occasional comedy specials with his adult children and laughing about the past.
 
He is preceded in death by his father, Herbert Sr., and his beloved sister, Theresa Pennebaker.  He leaves to cherish his memory, children Michael Martin, Tarekalyn and Mikelyn Edmondson, all of Louisville, his mother, Nancy A. Blincoe, sister, Brenda Blincoe, eleven grandchildren, thirteen great grandchildren and one great great grandchild, special friends Tonyia Edmondson, and Ruth Stewart, as well as a host of nieces, nephews and other family and friends that will miss him.

Visitation will be held Saturday, December 3, 2022 from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. with funeral services starting at 1:00 p.m. at Legacy Funeral Center-Schoppenhorst Chapel, 1832 W. Market Street.
