Robert Paul Sinclair

Robert (Bobby) Paul Sinclair, Sr. born on June 1, 1934, to Betty Dolan Sinclair and Paul

Andrew Sinclair, passed away peacefully on November 18th at the age of 90. A native

Atlantan, Bobby attended Marist High School and the University of Georgia. On August

20th, 1960, he married Margaret Buxton in Columbus, GA and a year later they had a

son Robert and four years later a daughter, Betty. They lived in Atlanta until 1970 when

Bobby accepted a job with Rozier Machinery as a Caterpillar heavy equipment

salesperson, and the family moved to Florida. Bobby loved raising his family on the

water in Florida, where he taught his kids to sail, fish and water ski. He was happiest on

the Gulf of Mexico on one of his many boats. He was a self-described “tinkerer” of fixing

boats, lawn mowers and many gadgets. He was an avid reader and had an incredible

thirst for knowledge. His family and friends were constantly amazed at his unbelievable

memory and trivia knowledge. He also enjoyed building things; one time he built

bookcases just to hold the encyclopedias that he bought for his children. He had a

fabulous sense of humor and always had his friends, children and grandchildren in

stitches with his stories of growing up in Brookwood Hills, his time at the University of

Georgia, living in Atlanta and his many boat adventures.

He was an active member of the Bradenton Kiwanis Club for many years and loved the

luncheons, volunteering and connecting with other Bradenton businessmen. In 1989,

Margret and Bobby moved to Lake Lanier where they continued their love of living on

the water and boating. During their years at Lake Lanier, they would become

grandparents to 5 grandchildren. They enjoyed traveling to see their daughter and her

family in California, spending time with their grandchildren in Atlanta, taking cruises and

visiting family and friends.

Bobby is preceded in death by his wife Margaret. He is survived by his son Robert and his wife Cindy, 

their children Trey and Sarah and her husband Ryan. His daughter Betty and her husband Marcos and their sons

 Marc, Jackson and Andrew and his wife Madi. He is also survived by his great grandchildren, Caden, Ella and Aubrey

 and his nephews Chip Sites and Paul Sites.
