LEWISTON – Kenneth M. Sinclair, 74, beloved husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, brother and friend died Friday, July 30, after a long battle and many complications with cancer.

He was born Dec. 25, 1929, a son of Myrtie L. (Cole) and William E. Sinclair.

He married Louise Fortier on May 15, 1950.

He worked at the Oxford Paper Mill for 43 years, and retired in 1989. Since retirement, he and Louise would spend winters in Florida, playing golf and picking up seashells on the beach.

He loved hunting, golfing, reading, having family get-togethers, and just having his family around him. He was always the life of the party with his “unique” sense of humor. Everyone who knew him loved him, and he will be missed terribly by all.

(Fortier) Sinclair, he is survived by five daughters, Kenora Hogdson and her husband Steven of Mexico, Karen Belyea and her husband Terry of Mexico, Sandra Bouchard of Rumford, Tina Schau and her husband Jon of Sudbury, Mass., and Jackie Plante and her husband Bruce of Rumford; one son; Kenneth L.
