My condolences to the extended Sinclair family on the passing of John. Having met him a number of times at music related events I was impressed with his openness and friendliness. He shall be remembered by many as the brave soul who took on the establishment and served as a inspiration to many of us. The fact that he tried to manage the MC5 in itself was a major accomplishment. He will not be forgotten. May his memory be eternal.

I have a lot of fond memories of John hanging out at with my Brother Johnny Gianoplos. The two of them had a special bond, as many others did. John wrote a beautiful poem about my dad, I believe it was called " A man named Moe." So happy I saw John at the Cadieux Cafe last year:) One of a kind
Rest in Peace Mr. Sinclair
