Roland "Ron" Sinclair

Roland (Ron) Sinclair, age 87 of Sheridan, passed away peacefully on Sunday, April 22, 2018 at his winter home in Zephyrhills, Florida.

Born and raised in Sheridan, a fact Ron was very proud of, he was a life long farmer and lived only a mile from the house he was born in. If he wasn’t in the fields working, Ron could be found in his garden which gave him great pleasure and joy. He was also an electrician and retired from GenCorp in Ionia.
