Robert Kincaid's Obituary
Robert Kincaid, aka Roy, was born in Gourock, Scotland, on October 3, 1945, to Thomas Harper and
Christina Robinson Kincaid. The family immigrated to America in 1950, where Thomas was employed
with El Paso Natural Gas Company, as was Roy from 1966 to 2001, retiring as Manager of Human
Resources.
As part of the EPNG community, Roy grew up at #1 company station, near Carlsbad, N.M. and the El
Paso station during his teen years, where he graduated from Parkland High School in the first
graduating class of 1964. The close relationships established among the EPNG families and employees
were significant throughout his life.
His college and work experiences were set aside in 1967 with his enlistment in the U.S. Navy, serving
aboard the U.S.S. Surfbird, stationed in Sasebo, Japan, as signalman, SM3, offering him the
opportunity to see the world, to include the waters in and around Vietnam. Before returning from a
leave of duty, in 1968, he married his high school sweetheart, maintaining a life-long love and being a
devoted father to their two children, Lori and Wesley.
Beyond work and family, his major interest was sports, participating in EPNG and community leagues
in basketball, baseball, softball, bowling, flag football, and especially golf. He was also known to have
made several contributions to various casinos around the country from time to time and frequently
enjoyed cruising and vacationing with friends and family, especially after retirement.
Roy was a resident of El Paso, TX, until 2014 when he and his wife, Terra, relocated to Huntersville,
N.C., to be near their children and grandchildren. After years of congestive heart failure, he
succombed peacefully at home on March 23, 2025. He is survived by his wife, Terra; daughter Lori
(and Ed) Oman; son Wesley (Elias Christopher, partner); and grandchildren Dakota and Devyn Oman,
all of Concord & Huntersville, N.C., and his brother, Thomas (and Janet) Kincaid of El Paso, TX.
