Growing up in Etobicoke just around the corner from the Sinclair family, each of us could immediately recognize Bruce by his infectious ear-to-ear grin.
He was a kind and genuinely warm gentleman who found purpose and fellowship in church, home, community and charity.
His life was a demonstration to the young people growing up around him in 60´s and 70´s, of how a career might be spent in service to others.
We grieve with your family and the greater community for this loss,
The Stewart Family of Strath Avenue.

I extend my condolences to Bruce Sinclair's family in this difficult time. I first met Mr. Sinclair over 50 years ago, when he was a member of the Borough of Etobicoke's Board of Control.
