Walter B. "Bud" Rowbottom

Dear All

I am so sorry I was unable to attend the services for your Dad. So many of my memories of childhood are those with your family. Ann do you remember the plays in your garage on Kane Street,Potawatami Park swimming pool and rootbeer popcycles and the toboggan rides as Jack has already mentioned? When I think of your Dad I always think of him walking across the lawn in our front yard in a white tee shirt, and jet black hair.

I do hope we do not lose touch...

Thank you so much EVERYONE for your kind words about my Dad. He will be greatly missed. Both he and my Mom were exceptional individuals and I feel blessed to have been their daughter. Each of us is here doing the best we know how with the cards that were dealt us--ours is not to judge--only to LOVE! Keep us in your prayers and we will keep you in ours! Love and hugs--#3 Rowbottom--Maryl

I knew Bud for years at the Antique store. He really knew his "stuff". I was very fond of him. My condolences to the Rowbottom family. I am sure he will be missed.

"My home away from home", that's what I always considered the Rowbottom house. What a great haven for me while I was attending Marquette U. many, many, many, etc. years ago. Forgot about my studies and delighted in the constant chatter and fun and, of course, Buddy's remarks on the state of the state! I stayed over the night Ann Marie was married and the night Michael was born. I have the fondest memories of my time with Mary Margaret, Buddy, Ann, Kathy (my buddy), Jimmy, Maryl, John, Mary,...

Our deepest sympathy to all of the Rowbottom family for their loss. While raising his young and growing family in the far western suburbs of Chicago, Bud’s family spent considerable time at our house and with my parents, Marty and Helen who also were raising a growing family. Together with other families in our community, they spent a lot of time helping each other on home improvement projects, church, and community events. Getting towed on a toboggan behind the green station wagon at...

The Rowbottom Family-
I am not sure if you remember me, but I babysat for the girls when Katie was only 6 years old! I am terribly sorry to read about your loss. Please accept my condolences.

I appreciated that Mr. Rowbottom served his country in the armed forces of the United States during World War II. As part of the greatest generation he helped save the world. I salute this veteran. In his honor I am regisyering him on the computer data base at the World War II Memorial in Washington, D.C.

TO ALL THE ROWBOTTOMS, OUR DEEPEST SYMPATHY.

I WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER THOSE SUMMERS COMING UP TO MILWAUKEE SPENDING TIME AT THE HOUSE, THE FEST OR THE GOOD TIMES AT YOUR WEDDINGS OR PARTIES WITH BUDDY. I FEEL FORTUNATE I SPENT TIME THIS SUMMER AT YOUR FATHER'S 80TH. HE WAS VERY PROUD THAT DAY. HE WAS VERY HAPPY TO SEE ALL THE FRIENDS AND FAMILY THAT SHARED HIS DAY. I ALWAYS WILL REMEMBER HIS STORIES. THEY SEEMED NEVER TO END.

OUR PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU,
