Gordon K. Winchenbach, 90, of Friendship, passed away peacefully on Jan. 24, 2026 at the Homestead in Cushing.
Gordon was born on Aug. 13, 1935 in Friendship, the son of Kenneth and Eleanor (Pottle) Winchenbach. He grew up in Friendship and attended local schools before going on to earn a bachelor’s degree from the University of Maine at Orono. He proudly served his country in the U.S. Army, attaining the rank of captain.
Following his military service, Gordon worked and became president for Boston Feed Supply, where he built a successful career and many lasting friendships. A very social man by nature, Gordon was known for his friendly demeanor and love of conversation.
In his free time, Gordon enjoyed golfing, feeding the ducks and geese around the pond, and tinkering around the house or in the garage. He was very active in the Friendship United Methodist Church and deeply involved in his community volunteering at the Friendship Museum. On occasion, he would delight parade-goers by driving floats in the Friendship parades with his golf cart.
Gordon is survived by his beloved wife, Patricia L. Winchenbach, of Friendship; his daughter, Gina P. Berkes and her husband, John, of Riverview, Fla.; his sons, Alan W. Winchenbach, of Seminole, Fla., and Charles G. Winchenbach and his wife, Erika, of Waldoboro.

Winchenbach, Mikayla R. Maschino, and Tycen D. Maschino, all of Waldoboro.
