James Edgar Sinclair
1925-2018
SINCLAIR, James Edgar Age 93,
formerly of Goshen, Guysborough County passed away peacefully on
Monday, November 26, 2018, in the Port Hawkesbury Nursing Home. Edgar
was a son of the late Edward and Hannah (Jordan) Sinclair. He was born
in Goshen and remained there his whole life until 2010 when he and his
wife Marie moved to Antigonish to be with their daughter Cheryl. Edgar
had several jobs over the years including a school bus driver, truck
driver, bulldozer operator, woodsman and in later years helped manage
Sinclair Meats with his wife and son. His main job was a beef and
sheep farmer. His land was his passion. He worked on his land cutting
pulpwood, trimming trees and just enjoying the view. Edgar raised
horses for years and would show them at the Fall Fair in Antigonish
where he also enjoyed attending the horse pulls. He spent many hours
at Robert MacNaughton’s General Store in Goshen with his
many male comrades, probably conversing about their land, their
livestock and families. He thoroughly loved a good game of cards and
would always bid way above the hand he held. He was a member of the
Goshen Community Centre and a long time member of the Liberal Party.
He is survived by son, Jimmie(Judy), Goshen; daughter, Cheryl,
Antigonish; six grandchildren, Jolene, Natasha, Courtney, Matthew,
Evan, and Garrett; nine great-grandchildren, Jorja, Cole, Ava,
Grayson, Jaelyn, Raya, Huxley, Harlow and Holden; sister,

many nieces, nephews and their families. Edgar was predeceased by his
wife of 65 years, Marie(Cole) who passed away May 3, 2018; brother,
Charles; sister, Isabel Sutherland. Cremation has taken place.
