As a patient of Dr. Sinclair for the past 9 years I can honestly say just how great of a man he was. I cant believe I started with him in grade 6 and am still going 9 years later.

Over the years he always showed a genuine interest in what I was doing, and always wanted to hear about it.

Not only did he give me a new smile from the Orthodontic work he did on me, but also from just talking and laughing with him as well.

My mom and I give everyone in the family our sympathies and wish them well in this tough time of loss.

Our deepest condolence to the Sinclair Family. Dr Sinclair was a great orthodontist and wonderful, wonderful man. He always has a story or a joke when we went to see him. The kids could go into the office in a down mood, but always came out smiling after see him. We will miss him very much.

Both my family and I are very sad for your loss. I personally will miss having conversations with him where we would share a laugh or he would tell me about some of his life experiences that I found facinating. He will be missed by many people that he has touched throughout his life. Rest in Peace.

The Kuchinsky family expresses its deepest sympathy at the loss of a great friend. Bill was a wonderful man, a close confidante for so many years - from his initial love for art in bonding him to Igor through so many familiy celebrations we all shared in happier times. Our love and support goes out to the entire Sinclair clan.
