Sinclair was born on the outskirts of Lipton, Saskatchewan to Yitzok (né Sandler) and Fraida (née Dubrovinsky) Sinclair – Ukrainian Jews that immigrated to Canada in 1905. His two older brothers, Samuel and Sol, were born in Ukraine, while his older sister Clara and younger brother Joe were born in Canada. His family's land was provided by the Jewish Colonisation Association. He worked on their farm.
Sinclair joined the Royal Canadian Air Force in 1942{{cite web |url=https://legionmagazine.com/en/i-felt-it-was-my-duty/ |title="I felt it was my duty" |first=Sharon |last=Adams |website=Legion Magazine |date=11 January 2022 |access-date=14 June 2023}} and was stationed at North Battleford.

Once it became standard, he worked in equipping aircraft with transmitters and receivers. His younger brother Joe served in the army, and after the war they moved to Richmond, British Columbia and started Sinclair Bros. Garage and Auto Wrecking.
He married a woman named Ida and they had three children: Nadine Lipetz, Karen and Len. In 1964, they moved to California; Sinclair suffered from migraines due to the war and his wife suggested they move to California to escape the cold weather and live closer to her siblings. His brother-in-law offered him a job in a furniture store in Anaheim. Ida suffered a stroke in 1994 and the Sinclairs moved back to British Columbia the same year. She died in 1996. Reuben resided in Richmond.
