Brinton Wynder Obituary
In 1954, Brinton left the familiarity of his hometown of Samsville, Illinois, to pursue a job opportunity. He ventured to Belleville, Illinois, where he began a successful 30-year career at Western Union Telegraph Company. Miss Doris Skees became his bride in 1958 and they celebrated 52 wedding anniversaries before her passing in 2011.
Loyal to only the St. Louis Cardinals, Brinton was a devoted baseball fan. The combination of his enthusiasm for the ball field and his love for his daughters led him to coach their softball teams for many years. His guidance and the shared experiences created many treasured memories.
Brinton was an avid gardener with a passion for growing vegetables. He was known for his green thumb and was proud of his abundant harvests which often produced tomatoes larger than softballs.
Brinton leaves behind two daughters, Valerie J. Stuart of Joshua, Texas, and Natalie L. (Jim) Waters of DeKalb, Illinois; and two grandchildren, Jaclyn (Leif) Henrikson of Palatine, Illinois, and James Waters III of Chicago, Illinois.
