John and Jim: we were saddened to hear about Uncle Clarence's passing and send our heartfelt condolences. He was an amazing person and I know that our mother, Elizabeth Sinnette Gardner, thought the world of him. They wrote to each other all during their lifetimes and I know she always loved the messages he sent and was tickled whenever she received a copy of The HodgePodge Herald.
I even started writing to him after Elizabeth's passing and had just sent a response to one of his letters when I was told the news.
All of the elder Sinnettes had incredible and fulfilling lives and I only hope that the younger generations can live up to the legacies that they left.

God speed, Clarence,
- Janet, Richard, and Walter Gardner

We are all deeply saddened to learn of Uncle Clarence's passing. Our father Paul thought the world of his elder brother Clarence. He shared stories about his brother with us often which in turn created fond memories for us...as if we were there when the actual events (and escapades) occurred. With our sincere condolences and prayers,
Mrs. Alice Sinnette
Ms. Christine Sinnette
Ms. Michelle Sinnette Brooks
Mrs. Paula Sinnette Martinucci and Mr. John Martinucci
