To Bernice, Douglas & Family, Tommy and Family, Michael and family, Susan and Family, and Holly,
I was so deeply saddened to hear this news. Please accept my heartfelt condolences for the loss of such a remarkable man-a beloved husband, father, grandfather, and friend to so many.
Robert was truly one of a kind. His knowledge seemed endless, especially when it came to history-he had a way of making the past come alive, often with a story that would have you laughing through the lesson. His wit, warmth, and wisdom left a lasting impression on everyone lucky enough to spend time with him.
Beyond his deep intellect, what stood out most was his generous spirit. He made people feel seen, heard, and valued, and our community is better because of him.
I hope you find some comfort in the legacy he leaves behind and the countless lives he touched. He will be missed dearly but remembered with deep respect and affection.
Know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. May you find strength and comfort in the love surrounding you.

Carolyn Arnold and Family

Dear Bernice and family
I was sadden to read of the death of you dear Robbie and send my deepest sympathy to you all.
Robbie was a dear friend during my teenage years and it was always nice having a catch up when I visited the island.

Robbie was a delightful gentleman and I am sure will be missed by all who knew him.

May he rest in peace.

Sincerely

I had met Robbie a few years ago in Bermuda however really got to know him at Michael´s wedding in Burlington Ontario we sat at the table with him and Bernice
Immediately we became friends
And have great memories afterwards when visiting Bermuda
I´m from the island of Newfoundland
And a cousin of Colleen´s
My memory of Robbie while visiting Bermuda several times afterwards include visiting the Naval Museum at the dockyard and also the Science Museum where we went by a virtual
Elevator to thousands of feet underwater seeing all the various types of fish and undersea creatures in the Bermuda sea
We had many lunches and dinners
And the topics centered around the ocean and fishing in both places
All my ancestors were fishermen from Newfoundland and as a teenager I fished in the North Atlantic with my father
He was Colleen´s grandfather brother
So we shared many stories and tales about the ocean and also a lot of shipwrecks

My memory of Robbie are very deep and enjoyable
I have many pictures with him

To all the Sinclair family and friends
My deepest thoughts and prayers

May he rest in peace

Jack Neville. RayJ to Colleen

Our hearts are broken. Uncle Robbie will always hold a special place in our hearts. From his not being able to recall colours to his pocket pens...from boating on the Irene to helping fly kites...from his amazing hugs to his incredible wealth of knowledge...from his Sinclairs store to his strong faith....such an amazing human...we love him dearly. Thank you Uncle Robbie for always being a fabulous role model to my and my children. To Aunt Bea, Doug, Tommy, Michael, Susan and Holly...I am holding you close in my heart. The world has lost a true gem. I love you all so very much. xxxooo Kelly, Jason, Ben, Ava and Courtney

Mr.Sinclair had the most genuine smile I´ve ever seen! He was such a kindhearted person with a great sense of humor. I´ll never forget how he rescued me from that unbelievable, Huge spider on the window outside Holly´s room in the summer of 1998 while visiting Susan.
My Heart & Prayers

So many fond memories of "Mr Sinclair" - his warm smile, his kindness, good heart, and authenticity made him just fun to be around.

You couldn´t help but feel welcomed every time he saw you. He was always a joy to be around along with his amazing wife and family.

I send all of you amazing Sinclairs my deepest love. Each of you has such a beautiful part of each one of your parents and grandparents.

Thank you for welcoming my brother Chuck and myself into your fold over the years.

There is a spirit within the Sinclair family that has stayed with me for decades and filled me with a deep appreciation and love for the head of such a beautiful family.

I am crying my tears now as I write this and will set a reminder to remember Robert Sinclair at noontime here in Oklahoma. I am sending all of my love and prayers to Mrs Sinclair, Tommy and the rest of you beautiful folks.

See you in a little while Mr Sinclair

Bernice and family, my thoughts and prayers are with you as we mourn the loss of a great husband, father and friend who was an example to many in his life as a good christian. I last saw him in Rome with the Bermuda pilgrimage. He and I were the last two to descend the staircase from the roof of the motherhouse and viewing Roman churches and roof tops all the way to St. Peter's. He quietly hand me a donation the for C,R, Motherhouse of which I was the superior. We had a Mass and refreshments after in our guest dining room. Later we went to Assisi with Fr. Adrian and Fr. Pat. Beautiful memories.
Love and prayers to all of the Sinclairs and Tatems.
