Uncle John was a loner most of his life. I had met him at his dads farm after he came home from the war (WWII). He had joined the U.S. Army Construction Engineers before the war started and served 4 years in the South Pacific, Luzon, Samoa, and other Islands. I was told that the Japanese had him for some time? (There are many stories about Uncle John) The picture posted was taken in the Islands with his monkey. He gave me a coin that I believe to be French and I was to save it because it was special. John was working on the family farm right after the war. He also worked with his brother-in law's (Fred Huff) lumber company. His Father (John Boston) had taken him some lunch while he was working the fields. His Father found the Tractor in the field running, but John was gone. It was years before Uncle John was heard from again. He was working with the United States Forest Service. His Brother (Ray) made contact with him and John stayed in contact with him over the later years. John was always on his way to visit and our porch-light was always on for him. But there was never any John to show up. I had a summer job working for the Forest Service putting out brush fires in Southern New Mexico. One of the Native Americans asked me if I knew a John Brindley, I told him that I had a Uncle by that name, but had not seen him in years. The young man said that he had worked with Uncle John fighting fires. John had some problems from the war years and the Veterans Admin was helping him with his health. His brother Ray was at his bedside on his death. He is buried in the National Cemetery.
This story was told by his nephew Raymond D Brindley Jr.
In his later years John's favorite pastime was whale watching, it provided many a happy days for a aging man.
Many thanks to all that visit uncle John
