"I'd take a cup of coffee, if you'd like to pour me one." Words I heard a hundred or more times from Marion on trips to Pella in the semi to pick up wood shavings for Griffieon Farms. Always the kindest man and real old school charm. He helped shape part of my youth and I will never forget him. My condolences to his family.

From my earliest memories I can recall Mr Sinclairs smile, laugh and the love he showered on his family. Jan and Marion created a magical getaway where we ate cereal with real cream, it was always okay to play in the barn and goodnight hugs weren't just for their kids....but anyone that wanted one. Marion, along with Jan and the beautiful girls play a part in my favorite memories of my youth. Thank God for sending him, thank his folks for doing such a wonderful job raising him....and thank you so much to his family for sharing him with my family and me. May God welcome him with open arms and a great big "Well done" .....
