IN FOND MEMORY

DON KINCAID [d. August 2025] 


We have learned of the recent sad passing of Don Kincaid.

Having joined The Questors in the 1950s and clocking up decades of membership, many current members will remember him for his musicianship, humanity, intellect and kindness.
Ann Johnson
I Worked with Don many times. Especially on musicals. They came around often and I used to cut Bente's hair. Loved him.

Anne Neville
A really lovely human being.

Kelvin West
Don was a lovely man and great to work with. I also knew him as former Ealing Grammar head, brilliant sense of humour, and all round top bloke. R.I.P

Francis Lloyd
A fine musician and such a nice man. Generous, funny and warm.

Jenny Webb
So many happy memories of Don, working on shows. He once gave me an old sink for my garden and he never failed to ask me, with a grin, how it was doing and he hoped I was giving it the love it deserved .. Sounds silly but it was a lovely joke between us.

Paul Collins
Don & Bente were a great couple. Warm, erudite, intelligent - lovers of Denmark and the Questors. Very sorry to read that Don has now joined Bente.

Keith Parry
I didn't know Don as well as most of you but I do remember him being a really nice man. R.I.P

Michael Langridge
That is very sad news indeed. I worked with Don on many shows over the years. He was a very talented musician and composer. He was great to work with and had a wicked sense of humour. I have so many happy memories of him both as a Questors colleague and friend.

Howard Shepherdson
Many happy memories of Don both working with him at Questors and as an Ealing High School Headteacher. It was a privilege knowing him and his energy and creativity will be missed.

John Davey
Both very fine people indeed. Don will be greatly missed - as is Bente.

Howard Benbrook
Lovely man ... So sad.

Michelle Mueller Weaver
A really lovely man R.I.P.
