SWAMPSCOTT — Loring Bills Lincoln Jr., Esq., of Swampscott passed away peacefully Tuesday, April 28, 2026 at Massachusetts General Hospital. Born April 22, 1948, he was the devoted son of Loring Bills Lincoln Sr. and Eileen Hill Lincoln. Loring graduated from Phillips Academy in Andover and has a B.A. cum laude from Harvard University, an M.B.A. degree from Columbia University, and a J.D. from Rutgers Law School. Loring served for 36 years in the Essex County Bar Program as a defense attorney and maintained his own private legal practice.
An avid musician, he sang for 28 years with the Paul Madore Chorale. Highlights included singing at the 50th anniversary of the Normandy invasion in Caen, France, and at the Vatican in Rome for Pope John Paul II.
