James "Jimmy" Sinawa, 69, of Waymart passed away suddenly, after an illness on Monday, January 11, 2021, at Geisinger Community Medical Center, Scranton. Born February 3, 1951 in Carbondale, he was the son of the late George H. and Clara E. (Kizer) Sinawa. Jimmy was well known in Waymart for his big smile and happy wave around town.
