Vincent A. "Pinch" Hanlin, 92, of Frederick, MD passed away on Sunday, Oct. 24, 2021 at Citizens Care and Rehab Center of Frederick.

He was born September 20, 1929 in Paw Paw, WV and was the son of the late Earl Berkhiser Hanlin and Sarah "Viola" Bobo Hanlin.

He was raised in Paw Paw where his parents worked at Uncle Port's Orchard. He loved Paw Paw, and all of his friends there.

Pinch was an auto mechanic and a jack of all trades. He built many hay wagons for local farmers when living in Lewistown, MD. He always had a garden and loved growing fruit. He created gadgets for peeling apples, and had even worked on an apple butter stirrer, hoping it could be used when he went back to Paw Paw each fall to make apple butter with all of his friends there at the Senior Center.

He loved children and got the biggest kick out of them. He was a big teaser and all of his children, nieces and nephews remember his antics fondly.

Two sisters, Geraldine Woods and Marion Ortman, daughter, Stacy Doody, and granddaughter, Molly Hayes preceded him in death.
