SINCLAIR: Lyall James

Lyall passed away peacefully at home, surrounded by his loving family, after a short illness and a brave battle on Thursday, 16th January, 2025. Aged 76 years.

Devoted and loving husband of Fay. Incredibly loved father, father-in-law and very proud ’Wal’ of Deidre and Roly, Sam, and Allie Senior (Oamaru), Glenn and Debbie, Daniel (Invercargill), Kelvin and Simone, Kamryn, Makenna, and Ashar (Winton).

Our hearts are broken. Gone Trucking.

Grateful thanks to Dr Caroline Stewart and the team at Winton Medical Services, and to Haidee at Hospice Southland.

A celebration of Lyall’s life will be held at The Hideaway, 201 Lochiel Branxholme Road, on Wednesday 22nd January at 1.30pm, to be followed by internment at East Winton cemetery.

In lieu of flowers, donations to Hospice Southland and Winton Medical Services would be greatly appreciated.
