Frederick J. Sinclair, 85, of Neodesha, KS, passed away Friday morning, December 24, 2021, at Neodesha Care & Rehabilitation Center.  Cremation has taken place under the direction of Ford-Wulf-Bruns Chapel.  A private gathering for close friends and family will be held later in the spring to spread his ashes.

Fred was born November 12, 1936, in Santa Monica, CA to Frank W. Sinclair and Helen M. (Seefken) Sinclair.   Fred’s childhood was spent just north of Chanute, KS, where he attended grade school in a one-room schoolhouse directly across the road from his home.  Even though Fred was not the perfect student, his teacher seemed to really take a liking to him.  He spent most of his time on the banks of the mighty Neosho River, which lied directly behind his home.  It was there that he acquired his lifetime passions for fishing and hunting.  Fred attended Chanute High School, Chanute Junior College and Kansas State Teacher’s College ( now ESU) in Emporia, KS.  It was here that he excelled in track and basketball.  During high school, Fred played in the basketball state tournament and was selected to play on the All-State team.   He was also recruited to play for KSU, but he declined the offer.  Fred excelled at baseball and golf as well.  He was just an all-round athlete.

Fred had many interests and enjoyed loading his own ammunition, working on shotguns and rifles, repairing electric, gasoline and even diesel motors and about anything else that needed fixing.  He had service manuals for about any problem that came along.  He joined the army on September 11, 1958, after two years of college in pre-engineering and during his time there, he received his Expert Badge in Rifle and also graduated from The U.S. Army Signal School in Ft Monmouth, NJ, specializing in Ordnance Electronics.  Directly following that, he graduated from the U.S. Army Ordnance Guided Missile School in Redstone Arsenal, AL.  It was there that they asked Fred to stay and become an instructor, but he again declined the offer.  Fred absolutely loved his army experience and spoke very highly of it.  He was honorably discharged in 1959 for medical reasons.

Fred met the love of his life, Donna Jeanne Arnold, the very first day that her family moved to Chanute, KS.  He was swept off his feet by this this beautiful girl and they would spend the next 70 years together.  Fred and Jeanne lived many places over the years, including New York, New Jersey, Utah, Colorado, Iowa, and finally they landed in Kansas, back home to where they first met.  It was here that they raised their two daughters, Jana and Jennifer.  Fred’s working years were spent in the electrical field where he mostly did technical writing.  He actually worked for a company that was contracted by NASA where he was allowed to utilize his talents.  He wrote specifications for both the Apollo & Gemini missions.  Later after moving to Kansas, Fred sold rural real estate out of Neodesha and then out of Independence.  Due to his experience, he was able to write his own sales contracts.  Needless to say, Fred sold a lot of farms!

On the family’s return to Kansas, they purchased land in both Montgomery and Wilson Counties.  This property would serve as a sanctuary for wild animals and Fred was constantly preserving the natural beauty of the land.  He planted numerous wildlife food plots for the deer, quail and other animals.  Another pastime of Fred’s was to graft trees.  He also got his hand in at “logging” for a short time.  Fred knew what trees to take and what trees to leave.   

Fred enjoyed his family mostly, taking walks at the farm, having picnics or “wiener roasts”, observing the deer and other wildlife, hunting packrats and armadillos with his son-in-law, Larry and much more.  He enjoyed his many family vacations to Lander, WY – camping, trout fishing, enjoying the campfire, cooking and conversation with his daughter, Jana.  He also enjoyed coffee drinking and conversation with his friends at the old Lantern Restaurant, and an occasional bourbon & water.  Fred was known to help many people in a time of need, always with no fanfare.  If he liked you, then he liked you and if he didn’t, then he didn’t, and you were aware of it.  Fred is probably sitting in heaven now, grinning from ear to ear, with his parents and his two little dogs, Jo and Loop.

Fred is survived by his wife, Jeanne Sinclair, his two daughters, Jana Sinclair, of Cimarron, NM, and Jennifer Curt and husband Larry Curt, of Neodesha and their children:  Sam Curt, Jessica Curt (J.L.) and Cassidy Curt of Kansas City, MO and his wife Holly Santee and one grandson, Sullivan (Sully).  He is also survived by two siblings:  Terry Ann Sinclair of Overland Park, KS and Dr. Hal Sinclair and his wife Nina of Kansas City, MO.  Nieces and nephews:  Steve Sinclair & wife Cindi of Woolstock, IA, David Sinclair & wife Julie of Lee’s Summit, MO, and Lori Roberts, Johnston, IA, along with many other great nieces, nephews and cousins.

Leslie W. Ehart, age 87, of Coffeyville, KS, passed away on December 11, 2021 at Windsor Place in Coffeyville. 

Les was born in Coffeyville on June 12, 1934 to Lester W. and Bessie (Braden) Ehart. He was raised in Coffeyville where he remained all of his days. He attended local schools and graduated from Field Kindley High School.  While Les was a teenager he met the love of his life. She lived in Oklahoma City, so they got acquainted by writing each other letters and Les would make road trips from Coffeyville to see her. On May 23, 1953 Les married Lynn Leone (March) Ehart in Miami, OK. They had three children from this union DeWayne, Theresa and Verna. Les is preceded in death by his wife, Leone, after almost 65 years of marriage. She passed away on November 15, 2017. 

 As a teenager, Les spent his summers working in the hayfields for various farmers. At the age of 17, Les followed in his father‘s footsteps and started working for the City of Coffeyville and remained there until the day of his retirement. After his retirement, Les worked part-time at the Senior Center because he loved helping people by driving them to doctor’s appointments, ladies to their beauty shop appointments and making sure everyone had a good meal. Les also drove for Retzenberger for a time during his retirement, getting the railroad workers from one location to the next. He was known to have a wonderful good nature, always able to find some way to give others sincere compliments and encouragement. 

Les was an elder for many years at the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses where he remained dedicated throughout his life. His faith was his priority and being such a dedicated family man, he spent innumerable hours reading and studying the Bible with his wife, three children, the congregation and others in the community. Les was well known for his listening ear that was always available to anyone. He wasn’t one to tell a person what they must do, but to help them make good choices with his guidance toward God‘s Word and prayer. Les spent countless hours praying for and with others. Even with all of the weighty matters he helped people with, Les had an amazing, quick wit and could make everyone around him laugh at his funny jokes and the never ending creative and funny ways he would answer the phone. 

Even though Les was very busy with his family, secular work and responsibilities as an elder, he found time to enjoy his hobbies. He loved rebuilding classic cars, at times restoring them to their original condition and other times he created beautiful muscle cars. Most of his adult life Les owned motorcycles and rode as often as he could with his brothers and son. For many years he owned a boat, taking his family and friends skiing at the lake frequently. He loved to travel with his family, several years were spent with him and his wife traveling in their motorhome. His vehicles were always in pristine condition. Les enjoyed house repairs and DIY projects. He was ever ready and eager to take on a “honey-do” list from his wife. 

Les will be greatly missed by those surviving him, his son, DeWayne Ehart of Denton, TX and his daughter, Theresa (Steve) Buchanan of Pittsburg, KS and his daughter, Verna Myer of Chanute, KS.
