Dr. Donald Allan Sinclair

SINCLAIR, Dr. Donald Allan December 26, 1922 - April 7, 2011Don passed away peacefully at the home he built, surrounded by those he loved. Born in Calgary, Alberta to Burt and Ted Sinclair and predeceased by his brother Bruce. Remembered and survived by his beloved wife of 62 years, Kathleen Woodsworth Rose, children Bob (Susan), Joani (Randy), Carol-Anne (Walfre), grandchildren Christopher, Carolina (Mauricio), Sarah, Tracy, Andrew, Christy and extended family. Don grew up in Vancouver, graduated from Prince of Wales Secondary and attended both the University of British Columbia and the University of Toronto, where, in 1947, he graduated in Dentistry. In 1960, he moved his family to the Lower Mainland from Trail, BC and settled in Tsawwassen in 1962. Throughout his professional years, Don was involved with the family business, BC Dental Supply. He practiced dentistry in Vancouver, Trail, Squamish and Richmond, BC where he remained until his retirement in 1989. Don was an extremely active and hard-working man. He cherished the time spent on his endless list of projects around his offices and homes, especially Christina Lake, where he gave his family countless wonderful memories. Always enlisting the help of his children and grandchildren, Don taught the value of hard-work and instilled a strong sense of family values. He enjoyed water and snow skiing, tennis and could be found riding his bike through Palm Desert up to the month before he died. His legacy will be carried on for years to come. This wonderful man will be sorely missed and remembered with sincere admiration. Family and friends are invited to celebrate Don's life at the family home on Wednesday, April 20th, 2011 at 2:00 pm.
