Lem Sinclair
1933-2017
« He stopped loving her today. » A quote from one of
our dad’s favorite songs. And while it may be true in this
world, it most certainly opens him up to loving her throughout
eternity.
After a brief illness in the Saint John Regional Hospital,
our Dad – Lem Sinclair (Rabbit to his friends) chose Christmas Eve,
December 24, 2017 to join our mom up in heaven where we are sure they
are dancing together once again reunited. And oh could they dance. For
many years, Rabbit & Norah were the two who when dancing
together, many found hard to take their eyes off as they glided around
the floor to their favorite classic country music. It brings us
comfort to think they are once again dancing together.
Lem was born in Balsam Bay, Manitoba on March 8, 1933 to
parents Solomon and Virginie (Mercredi) Sinclair. He left at a young
age to become a career soldier – his military career spanning from
February 1953 until he retired in February 1985.
He loved being a military man, especially being a part of the
Black Watch. He attended all the reunions, and marched in many parades
even after retirement as a Korean War Veteran and as a Black Watch
member. Lem was a Friday night regular at the Oromocto Legion, and
will be missed by many who know him better as Rabbit.
Lem leaves behind his children, Richard Sinclair, Beth
(Barry) Crowell, and Brenda (Bobby) Crook. Also his grandchildren,
Sarah (Jesse) Jones and Samantha Crook. Lem was predeceased by his
loving wife, Norah (Bowes) Sinclair, his son, Timothy Sinclair and his
grandson, Cody Crook.
Visitation will be held on Thursday, December 28, 2017 from
2-4 pm and from 7-9 pm at Oromocto Funeral Home. There will be a
celebration of life at the Oromocto Legion on Friday, December 29,
2017 from 2-4 pm, where Rabbit will one last time head to the Legion
on a Friday to have a toast with his friends. In lieu of flowers,
donations can be made to the John Wood Foundation.
