To the Sinclair family, our deepest sympathies. What a great man, leader, family man and community advocate. I will miss the 2 foot cigars and "it's nice to be seen"! Rest in peace Norm, job well done!. John and Tina Lomeo My deepest sympathies. Norm was a wonderful person, great role model and dedicated family man. Norm will truly be missed be everyone who knew him. Norm was a force of nature. I never met anyone quite like him. As a Library Trustee (and so, my boss), he was a mentor, tireless supporter, morale booster, and financial guru. He was always there when needed, proud of the staff and services, and most of all, the Library. Thank you, Norm, for everything. You touched more lives than you can know. Dear Steven, Jayette and family, I was sad to hear about the passing of your father, Norman. Although I never met him, I can see that your father was an extraordinary man. What an amazing life of service he lived, making a difference wherever he was. I know he must have been a great father to you, Steven, because you are such an upright, good man. Your dad did good. We are with you in prayers. May the memory and beautiful deeds of your father, live on! Love to you, Karen (dick & jan's kid, in la) Steve , so sorry to hear of your fathers passing. Try to keep in mind the good things you enjoyed with him over the years. Also John 5:28,29 tells us about the resurrection hope. Larry Dear Steve, Jayette, and Norm's family: After reading Norm's obituary, I understand where the DNA for social service, kind-heartedness, and gregariousness is in the family blood lines. Sorry I never got to know him. Dennis and I offer sincere condolences for your loss. Seeing how involved Norm was, I have to wonder if he's already gathered together a bowling team for some heavenly pins. Peace, Carol Fisher Dear Steven, Jayette and entire Sinclair family, My deepest condolences to all of you at this most difficult time. Norm was one of the most decent human beings I have ever known. I first met him when I became the CEO of Girl Scouts of Niagara County and through my 7.5 years with that agency, he supported us, encouraged us and gave his help tirelessly. He was kind beyond words, generous beyond measure, fair through and through and always a gentleman. I had the utmost admiration and respect for him and benefited enormously from his wisdom and thoughtful guidance. After I left New York to take a position with a larger Girl Scout council in Massachusetts, we kept in touch each year through Christmas cards and an occasional letter. The world has lost a rare and wonderful man and I consider it an honour and a blessing to have known him. He was so loved by so many. Know that his fine example will guide many of us for years to come. May he rest in peace and may you have many wonderful memories. With kind regards, Barb Smith (Warwick, Rhode Island) Former CEO Girl Scouts of Niagara County, Inc. Lockport, New York Dear Paula, Steven and Families, Norm, what a wonderful and community minded person! He will be greatly missed by many. I was so honored to stand and recognize him recently at the United Way Breakfast as Humanitarian of the Year. A well deserved award. I knew him best as an avid supporter of the 4-H program and lately of the Challenger Sports Sunshine Bowling League. Our thanks to all of you for sharing Norm and his talents with all of us. My thoughts and prayers are with you all, Linda Conlin 4-H Sponsors Committee, Secretary My deepest sympathy to the Sinclair family, I have know Norm for many years. I remember him from years past when he was part owner in the Townline bowling allies in Wilson. At the time my mother worked there and would often take my Downs Syndrome son to work with her. Norm took a special interest in Earl and taught him to bowl and join the youth bowling league that Norm ran there. Earl became a good bowler and still bowls today at the age of fifty two and loves it. Thank you Norm you will always be remembered for your love and kindness. Elise and I extend our condolences to Norm's family and Carolyn Lange. Norm was one of our most faithful Director's at the Federal Reserve and one of that institution's strong supporters. As the Buffalo Branch Manager I valued his wise counsel and balanced judgment. After retirement he and I enjoyed several rounds of golf together and it should go without saying that he was always a delight to be with on the golf course or in any social setting. This area is indeed poorer for his passing. Our sincere condolences to the Sinclair family. He was a pillar of Lockport, and he will be sadly missed. God speed. We would like to express our sincere sympathy to the Sinclair family. I worked with Norm for many years, starting at the Farmers and Mechanics Bank and he was a great influence in my life. We will miss him very much and appreciate all his contributions to the Community. The Seiler Family is blessed to have known and loved Mr. Sinclair since we stepped foot into First Presbyterian Church in 2006. He introduced himself as the "eldest elder". We remember the church picnic at AMOC after which Norm declared "the church is still alive!" We enjoyed serving with him on the Evangelism Committee to reach the community with the love of Jesus. We loved dinner with him at the Luskin home when he shared his vast knowledge of the history of Lockport. The children were amazed at how much he could recall from the old days of Lockport. Norm was so generous, giving gifts to the children who will keep these to remind them of a great man with a great heart. We thank the Lord for his life and for his love of Jesus and of so many people. We celebrate his "absence from the body and presence with the Lord!" Norm shared one of his favorite Bible verses, Proverbs 3:5-6, a great source of encouragement in any challenge of life. May God's Word bring comfort and peace to his family. Note Isaiah 26:3-4, "Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on Thee: because he trusteth in Thee. Trust ye in the Lord for ever: for in the Lord JEHOVAH is everlasting strength:" With love and prayers for the family of Norm, The Seilers Blanche & I are saddened by your loss! He was a great man and have many fond memories together. May God Bless your family in this time of need. Chuck & Blanche Emery ;
