Dear ‘Babcia,’
We were so sorry to hear that Don had passed away. We always enjoyed visiting with you both when we traveled to North Carolina. Don was a pleasant and entertaining conversationalist. His thoughts on sports and politics were always on the mark! We will certainly miss ‘Dziadziu’ and will keep you all in our prayers.
Sincerely,
Bonnie and Lloyd Cory

my prayers are with all of you during this time. May God comfort you. I remember back in the early 60’s when I would leave Fort Stanwix School and trek over to washington st. where I would go to the dentist….Dr. Sinclair. I remember it well as his stairs creaked and I was always so apprensive. I grew up and left ny when I graduated college and moved to nc where I worked as a reg. nurse for 31 years…I am now 56 years old and Dr. Sinclair inspired me to go into the medical field. My heartfelt sympathy….gina chilluffo vadala
