LEONARD JOSEPH SINNOTT Peacefully on July 15 2005, Len Sinnott passed away at the St. Boniface Hospital at the age of 82. He was predeceased by his father Joseph, mother Dorothy, and brother Walter Sinnott. Len will be greatly missed by his wife of 60 years, Marion; sons Patrick (Bev), David, and Neil (Joy); grandchildren Jennifer, Jeffrey, Erik and Thomas; and great grandchildren Mackenzie and Conner. Len was born in Hampshire England on June 14, 1923, and grew up in England, joining the Royal Air force and serving as a fighter pilot during World War II achieving the rank of Squadron Leader. He met Marion during the war, and they married shortly after the war's end. Len and Marion moved to Canada with their young family in 1955 and after a short time as a teacher Len returned to the field of aviation as Training Manager for Bristol Aircraft Ltd. His subsequent career in training and personnel management took him to Steep Rock Iron Mines, Bristol Aerospace, Transair, Manitoba Public Insurance Corporation, and the Department of Education. Len was a man of strong principles who exhibited sensitivity and humour. Throughout his life he always provided guidance, support and opportunities to those who knew and worked for him. He had talents for both art and poetry, and often wrote well-crafted and much appreciated poems for friends and family to commemorate special occasions. The family would like to thank the doctors, nurses, and staff of Ward 5E at the St. Boniface Hospital for their compassionate care. A memorial service will be held on Wednesday July 20 at 2:00 p.m. at Green Acres Funeral Home, Hwy. #1 East at Navin Road. Interment will follow at a later date in Holy Angel Mausoleum. In lieu of flowers, if friends and family so desire, donations in his name can be made to the Salvation Army or to the charity of their choice. GREEN ACRES Funeral Home and Cemetery Hwy. #1 E. at Navin, (204) 222-3241
