He was a son of Daniel Patrick Sinclair and Lillie O'Brien Sinclair and was a self employed carpenter. He never married, but once jokingly told a lady who was seeking matrimony, "If you make me a good living, I'll make you a good husband." He had a great sense of humor and loved giving gag gifts at Christmas.

Later in life he survived a fiery car crash that caused terrible burns to his head and hands. He lost an ear as a result.

He was working underneath Centre Presbyterian Church when he had a heart attack and passed away. Some of the family would later go on to refer to Centre Church as "the church Uncle Shep died under".
