He is survived by his wife, Cindy Sinnott, his three daughters, Michelle (Paul) Howard, Melissa Carstens, and Melinda (Jennifer) Sinnomyer, and his grandchildren, Noah Carstens and fiancé Allyson Way, and Emma Carstens. He is also survived by his sister Jackie and his brothers, Mike (Cathy) and Ed. Also survived by many brothers-in-law, sisters-in-law, nieces, nephews, and cousins. He joins his parents, Ed and Betty Rose Sinnott, in heavenly peace. In the words of an Irish blessing, “May the road rise up to meet you. May the wind always be at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face, the rains fall soft upon your fields and until we meet again, may God hold you in the palm of His hand.”
