Farewell to our wonderful friend. We go back to our High School days! So much fun over the years with Beverly and Girls’ Club, Fishing Group, Silver Dollar City, and many more gatherings. We love you Nelson and have been Blessed just being with you. Sending love to your family, Bob & Marie Walkling
RIP my dear friend. From the moment I met you I thought you were the best dad and grandpa. I will never forget the night I had to call you and you jumped right in to help your daughter,Amy, with a medical issue. From that moment I called you Stormin Norman. You were always so kind. You will be missed. Hugs in heaven!
The Sinclair’s, Nelson and Beverly and all their family has been my extended family for more than fifty years. They were a family made up of love, happiness, and teaching everyone the kindness of life. Nelson was a wonderful person who served his country in the Korean War and loved all his children, grandkids, and great grandkids, great great grandkid, plus all the children that rode his school bus. He was a paramedic with Gateway Ambulance, he worked for the Post Dispatch. He touched many lives while he was here and given us memories that will live on forever. We love all the Sinclair’s dearly and we are sorry for your loss. I am sure he was met at the pearly gates by Beverly and everyone else including all my immediate family. I have been blessed to have all of them in my life. Please let God be with all of you forever. Carol and Steve
Rest now friend. We so enjoyed and respected you as a co-worker at the bus lot. Loved working closely with you back in the early days of the “little busses”! It was constant laughter in the drivers lounge.
You were a great teacher too with all those sick dummies. (Not all inanimate)
To the family, please know we are sad for you and we hope you get some comfort knowing so many people cared for and enjoyed him.
Many many caring thoughts, Mike and Laura Wanko
Deepest sympathy to the Sinclair family for the loss of Nelson. According to Psalm 90:10, Nelson was blessed with special strength. May your fond memories and encouraging scriptures such as Acts 24:15 comfort your family during this difficult time.
