Dr. Sinclair was a wonderful person and an outstanding doctor. He delivered our firstborn in January of 1969. I was nineteen and my husband was serving in the army. Our daughter would be 11 months old before she would meet her dad. Dr. Sinclair was sympathetic to our circumstances. He was genuinely kind and gentle. Many years later, I had the distinct pleasure of having one last visit with him at the Heights Professional Bldg. He was clearing out his desk and preparing to retire that very day. I had one last chance to thank him again and wish him well. Again, he was so gracious. I walked away feeling like he was just so happy to start the next stage of his life. The families of doctors always share their time with the patients. Thank you. Our Lord promises to be near the broken hearted and bring healing. God bless each of you.

I am the secretary at Thomas Albert Sinclair Elementary in the Heights. I am so very sorry for your loss. If at all possible I would appreciate it if someone in Dr. Sinclair's family could contact me at the school. We would love to know which Dr. the school is named for and some history.
Many prayers for your family.
