Jim worked in the automotive industry many years and owned American Fluid Technology, an Antifreeze Recycling Co. Jim had several hobbies: enjoying time as a private pilot, driving his race car, watching Nascar, remote control cars & planes, and hosting parties and celebrations (especially the 4th of July).
Jim was a caring and giving person. Many of his friends knew him as the one they could depend on in times of need. He was also the one who could find joy and appreciation in everyone he was around.
He loved his family dearly and would do everything he could to help them.
Jim was preceded in death by his mother, Betty Morene Sinke, his father, Gerald James Sinke Sr, his son, Gerald James Sinke III, and his step daughter, Amanda Kay Rose.
He is survived by his wife, Barbara Ann Sinke, son, Troy Sinke (wife Tanya), daughter, Jaymi Lynn Sinke (partner Rachael Donnelly), step daughter Christy Rose Ianchis (husband Florin), sister, Cynthia Sinke Darragh (husband Edward Darragh, Esq.), niece, Dr. Angela Darragh (husband Ed Nichols), nephew, Lance Darragh (wife Cathy), his grandchildren, Adelina Sinke, Chasity Parks, Sydney Valdes, & Liam Ianchis, his former wife, Edna Sinke (partner Michael Ellis), sister-in-law, Marti Chase (husband Tom) nephews, Madison Chase (wife Ashleigh), Preston Chase, and all of Jim’s extended family and friends in Georgia, Florida, Michigan & Colorado.
We want to thank you all for your prayers, kind words and expressions of love through cards and flowers. While we will miss him here with us, we can celebrate with him when we see him again, one fine day!
