Condolences & Memories (13 entries)

• My deepest condolences go out to the Sinclair clan and to the friends of The Honourable Mr. Chief Justice Richard J. F. Chartier and The Honourable Mr. Justice Gerald L. Chartier on the untimely passing of Mr. Sinclair. I play bocce on the Mona Lisa Ristorante Italiano summer league against Doug Blaylock, who happens to be a friend of my former colleague Erin from the restaurant I had been employed for many years, is also my financial advisor, and I want to thank the late Mr. Sinclair for all the legal advice that he has given my mom and I. - Posted by: Philip (Lives in Winnipeg) on: Dec 10, 2021

• My condolences to the Sinclair Clan. John and I first met in 1955 when the Sinclair and Lindsay families moved across Brock Street from one another. We were in and out of each other's homes and shared many great experiences throughout our high school and early university years. Our academic and professional careers took different paths and we did not keep in contact. We last spent a wonderful evening of dinner and reminiscing together with another friend in the late 1980s. At that time we agreed to do a better job of maintaining contact; unfortunately, we did not do so. The obituary did a great job of capturing the John I remember so well.

• I am SO terribly sorry for the loss that you ALL must feel. Mr. Sinclair, which I will always refer to you as, was a "Mover and Shaker" in many many ways and I am so very grateful to him, and his entire family for all the gifts, teachings and fabulous Life Lessons that have been shared with me as a result of being Jacquie's friend. I send heart felt condolences to you all. As Mr. Sinclair was a big energy who was full of life, I can only imagine this massive loss is so very apparent in all areas of all your lives - I am truly sorry for your loss and I extend a powerful hug to you all, along with loads of Love and Light. Life is a gift, so often taken for granted and the Life Mr. Sinclair so generously shared with ALL who had the pleasure of crossing paths with him can only be described as a profound GIFT and Life altering experience. He was, is and will always be an amazingly strong, intelligent, kind, generous, creative and beautiful from the inside out dynamo who enhanced, enlivened and guided so many lives along the way. Mr. Sinclair, YOU are and will ALWAYS be a spectacular example of confidence, not arrogance, humility, wit, fun, purpose, passion and adventure in motion. I am so very honoured to have known all your greatness. I extend health , happiness and prosperity to ALL in your name! As my dear little Mom used to say..."LIfe is ALL about LOVE, Unconditional Love, not Love IF or Love BECAUSE... LOVE period!" xoxo "Peace Be With You!" - Posted by: Jenny Parkinson (Jacquie's friend) on: May 27, 2021

• Debbie, I’m so sorry to hear of John’s passing. I’m sure John and Moe are sharing stories, they were both excellent “raconteurs“ . I also looked for you on the unit unfortunately we didn’t connect. - Posted by: Marcelle LeBlanc (Friend ) on: May 17, 2021

• Sincere condolences Deborah Sinclair, family, and friends. Very sad to read he had passed away. It was always a nice, fun chat when chancing to meet up in the Grant Park Mall. Lots of nice memories of John - on a couple separate golf course gatherings he walked the entire 18 holes of golf. Each time it was "never you mind, go ahead and I'll catch up". Sure enough, he always got there in time to tee off. He was a good story teller and he shared a lot of them. Lots of laughs. Rest in peace John, rest in peace.

• I had the privilege of meeting John Sinclair when the two of us were members of the Lions Club of Winnipeg in the 1970s. I was constantly impressed by his intelligence, kindness, consideration and wonderful sense of humour. Living in Alberta, I was not expecting to have the opportunity to meet him again, but now that is a devastating certainty. I hope his friends and family find comfort in countless happy memories of a decent, caring individual. R.I.P. old friend! - Posted by: Bill Stevens (Friend) on: May 15, 2021
