DAVID WAYNE SINCLAIR
October 16, 2019
What a journey!
I moved to Edmonton for a short while and worked at Alberta Government Telephone. But Winnipeg drew me back.
I had a unique and rewarding one-of-a-kind career as a Facilities Planning Manager. Forty years ago, I was working with computer mainframes that filled an entire room. By the end of my career, I was working in rooms filled with mainframes. My career at Great-West Life led to friendships that carried on well into my retirement.
In retirement, I was able to play even more golf, as well as curling, and travelled to some wonderful places, including China, Scotland, Ireland, Hawaii, Arizona, California, the East and West coasts of Canada, and many points in between.
My greatest joy was meeting, falling in love and later marrying Barb in Hawaii, where we would return many times. Much gratitude to the Newbury family who have loved me as one of their own, making me feel like a brother and son, and to my family who loved and welcomed Barb. Truly a life filled with family and love.
I was predeceased by my mother Doris; father Lloyd; sister Marg; and grandson Niall-David Cash.
I sadly leave behind a wonderful family: my wife Barb; son Scott (Stephanie); twin daughters, Hayley and Wendy; grandchildren, Morgan, Lloyd, and Piper; sisters, Leslie, Susan (Brian), and Heather (Jon); mother-in-law Betty-Anne; brother-in-law George (Dianne); sisters-in-law, Pat, Linda, and Jo-Ann (Chris); and many nieces and nephews.
I would like to thank all those who participated in this journey. I couldn't have done it without you. Farewell, and now I'm off to mingle with my ancestors.
The family would like to thank the staff at CancerCare Manitoba and Palliative Care for their support.
Memorial service pending.

My heart goes out to you Barb. Dave was a great person to work with and a true gentleman. I have good memories of working with him, and fun memories of baseball with both of you. Condolences to you and your families. - Posted by: Sharon Carter (Gwl) on: Oct 22, 2019

David was a true friend, and a favorite golf buddy. When I first joined Assiniboine Golf Club he was there to welcome me. David taught me how to enjoy the game and play it as it was intended. I will always remember David as a gentleman, and a great competitor. I wish we had a few more games to play. Condolences to Barb and family members. - Posted by: Fred Riddle (Friend and golf buddy) on: Oct 20, 2019

David, I really enjoyed the time together with the boys golfing at Assiniboine and the countless meal and drinks after our games counting how much money I had to pay you as a result of our on course little games that I never seemed to be able to win. Thank you very much for the fun time, you were indeed a gentleman and a good golf partner. Rest in peace my friend. - Posted by: Rejean Douville (Friend) on: Oct 19, 2019
