writer, a lay minister in the Catholic church, a motivational speaker and a podcaster, among other things. Diagnosed with terminal cancer, he has decided to share the story of his many unique experiences, not just for the many people who have known him over the years, but for those who were never able to meet him. Sinclair and his wife Edrina were long-time residents of Estevan who moved out of the community in 2012. Eventually they settled in the Carlyle area and worked at the Kenosee Lake Bible Camp. They
recently relocated back to Estevan to be closer to their family. He said people have been asking him to write a book for a while. “The prospect of writing a book, even with me being a writer, seemed to be very daunting. I knew I had my life I could write about and that’s quite a story in itself to tell, but I didn’t feel I had all the answers people were asking me about,” he told Lifestyles in an email. He has had works published before, including a collection of the Dirty Socks and Banana Bread
