He loved singing, watching musicals, movies, and his beloved golden retrievers, Peaches, Molly, and Jenny.He also enjoyed travelling to Maine, Vermont, and visiting Old Orchard Beach during the summer.
Beyond his love of family and golden retrievers, his biggest passion in life was the New England Patriots.A season ticket holder for the New England Patriots, Sinclair was a faithful fan who attended nearly every home game. When the Patriots played away games, he would watch from home.When the Patriots made it to the Superbowl, Sinclair was there cheering on his team.His love continued as his eyesight got worse, but that did not deter him, he simply got a bigger TV so he could watch the Patriots on Sunday.And now, an angel in a New England Patriots jersey cheers on his favorite sports team from up above.
