WHITEWATER - John Jay Tincher, age 60, passed away on Friday, July 31, 2015, after a courageous battle with cancer.
John was born on September 21, 1954, in Columbia, Missouri to William I. Tincher and Cornelia M. (Coxe) Tincher. He spent early childhood in Columbia, MO and excelled in math and science at the University of Missouri Laboratory School. In late childhood, his family settled in Whitewater where their ancestral history dates back to Dr. James Trippe (settled from New York in 1839). John graduated from Whitewater High School in 1972 and bought his first rental property when he was nineteen years old, which started his successful career in real estate. Throughout his early career he continued to build his rental business in conjunction with working for Ketterhagen Ford. In 1989, John became a real estate broker and bought Steck Realty which he re-named Tincher Realty. He grew his company into one of the top real estate businesses in the Whitewater and tri-county area. John was a strong supporter for the expansion of local business development. In 1995, John was instrumental in securing land for the local power plant to be built. John was proud of the quality housing he provided to thousands of university students over the course of his career and enjoyed cheering them on at Warhawk events. He continued to work at his office until his final days in large part due to the enjoyment he found in visiting with his staff.
As a father, John enjoyed skiing, hunting, building furniture, farming, and going to Brewers games. Some of his greatest pleasures came from vacationing in northern Wisconsin and Colorado with his family. John was an avid follower of college and youth sports in Whitewater. He found great pleasure in spending time with his new grandchildren and was looking forward to the arrival of his third grandchild in September. John was appreciative of all the friends he had made throughout his life. He looked forward to the annual Ducks Unlimited banquet and Warhawk Auction.
In 2014, he was inducted into the University of Wisconsin Whitewater Hall of Fame for his distinguished service in supporting the university, local schools, and the citizens of Whitewater in various capacities over his lifetime. John was previously the treasurer of the Greater Whitewater Committee and one of its founding members.
Visitation will be held at NITARDY FUNERAL HOME, 550 N. Newcomb Street, Whitewater, from 4 until 8 p.m. on Tuesday, Aug. 4, 2015. Memorials can be made to the Esophageal Cancer Action Network, a non-profit organization to help raise awareness of the risk of Esophageal Cancer caused by gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).
