Read More	Published in The Press Democrat, Santa Rosa, CA, September 30, 1999 When a fellow carpenter couldn't pay his union dues or his mortgage during slow winter months, Riley Kindle of Petaluma was often there to help make the payment. At Christmas time he helped organize toy drives and holiday meals for families of carpenters in need. Kindle died September 14 in Jackson, Tennessee, from complications related to lung cancer. He was 77. A finish carpenter, Kindle created special trim on many public and commercial buildings in Sonoma County. He also worked on many of the bridges and schools that rose as Petaluma grew. After a rich career as a tradesman, he rose within the ranks of the Petaluma Carpenters Union Local 981 to become the chapter's secretary and apprenticeship teacher. The union has since been absorbed by Santa Rosa Local 751, but while it was active Kindle's presence was known. "He was a carpenter who came up through the ranks," said his son, Mike Kindle of Sebastopol. As a result, "he was more involved with looking out for the men." Kindle was born and raised near Decaturville, Tenn. The great-great-grandson of Revolutionary War veterans, Kindle enlisted in the Marine Corps at the outbreak of World War II. He became a bazooka man and was wounded in the Pacific Theater. He was transferred to a hospital in San Francisco. A woman from his hometown in Tennessee came to San Francisco to visit him in the hospital and they were eventually married. After Kindle was discharged, he and his wife and her family bought some land in Petaluma and spent weekends building their home there. They moved to Petaluma when the house was finished and Kindle began working as a carpenter. Kindle served on the Sonoma County grand jury during the 1970's, was an active member of the First Baptist Church in Petaluma and an avid hunter and outdoorsman. Upon retirement, Kindle moved back to his hometown in Tennessee. In addition to his son, he is survived by his wife, Lucille Houston Kindle of Parsons, Tenn.; a daughter, Sheryl Kindle Fullner of Everson, Wash.; a stepson, Don Camper of Parsons, Tenn.; a sister, a brother, and three grandchildren. Burial was in Mt. Lebanon Cemetery in Decaturville, Tenn. Married (1) Iona Lorrene Forbes, March 17, 1945, San Francisco, CA (born 1924 - died 1978) Married (2) Lucille Houston Camper, December 29, 1985, Decatur Co, TN Preceded in death by a daughter, Judy Ann Kindle Davis
