JOHN LYNN BINTLIFF

I have many splendid memories, back in the '60's & '70's of us ridin' our Husqvarna off-road motorcycles.
Always tryin' so hard to keep up with him. John will be poppin' "wheelies" in the great beyond.

I will never forget my last memory of John- As sick as he was in his final weeks, and almost too weak to hold up his big old camera, but still taking pictures at his brothers (my father-in law)birthday celebration. I will always be inspired by the image of him in his wheelchair taking pictures that day. We should all learn from him to not waste a single precious moment and to do what we love while we can. RIP

My brother, John Lynn Bintliff, was a superman and he manifested such at a very early age, to wit: We grew up in the country (it was back then)in a two-story house at 1033 Wirt Road. Superman was BIG in our imaginations back then and John Lynn (age 6) went for it full-bore just like he did througout his life; he tied one of Mother's dish towels around his neck (his Superman cape), walked to the edge of the second floor deck, climbed over the railing and "flew." He landed head first in...

Uncle Lynn,
I remembered you when I was very young and your smile. You were inspiring that you lived through your passion throughout your life, taking pictures. I am honored one was given to me and my husband for our wedding and it hangs in our bedroom. I am grateful you captured family shots that we all treasure and I am most grateful of the photo of me and my little girl you took just months ago. I feel as though we will always have a little bit of you in your legacy. You will be...

John was a fixture at our household (Don Weitinger Family) in the 70's. He was so much fun....a true spirit of those times. He did a soul capturing family portrait of us, which stills hangs in Dad's house. All my best to the Bintliff family. Cherish the good memories.

John,you are a great man with an infectious smile. It was a pleasure working with you and a privelege to call you friend. My thoughts and prayers to Jeff and the family. With much love, Kathryn Jost.

I still have one of John's prints, I got it from him sometime in the 80's when I worked at the Hofbrau and he was a STAR! ....A true artist. The print has travelled with me across the country and has been a treasure to me. I am grateful to have known John and have a piece of his work.

When John packed in his studio and took off to be a REAL cowboy, they all thought he was crazy. But when they saw his work turn into works of art, he was an inspiration. If he hadn't had the guts to do that, I might never have packed up and moved to New York and then Los Angeles a couple of years later. A great talent and a great guy will be greatly missed.
