PC Charles Moncrief Sinclair – 01 Dec 1936 ~ 05 Sep 2023

Charlie started his career with the Toronto Fire Department on May 13, 1963, and retired on April 23rd, 1998. Charlie was promoted to Captain of Rescue 1, District Chief 41, and finally Platoon Chief on A2 Platoon.
Charlie is pre-deceased by his first wife, Marion Sinclair, and his daughter Cindy Kaufman. He is also pre-deceased by his wife Doris DeCunha Sinclair. During his career with the Toronto Fire Department, Charlie fell through a burning roof, broke his back, and spent a year in a full-body cast. He also lost a part of his lungs. As a result of his injuries and his firefighting career, Charlie suffered from COPD and eventually lung cancer. Late in life, in June of 2003, he married Doris Anne Decunha. Both Doris and Charlie shared a passion for golf. They were members of Credit Valley Golf and Country Club in Mississauga and spent their winters golfing in Apopka, Florida where they were both members of Erroll Estates Golf and Country Club. Doris came from a large family and Charlie was promptly adopted as Grandpa Chuck. The next 20-odd years were a very happy time for both Chuck and Doris filled with much love, laughter, and happiness – all squeezed in between their golf rounds. Doris passed away in October of 2022. Charlie was very despondent and depressed. He finally succumbed to the two demons that had plagued him throughout his retirement years- COPD and Lung Cancer. Rest in peace, Charlie. Those who are loved never die.
