William F. "Butch" Owens

Dad, thank you for being a wonderful father and friend. You have been a great roll model and hope all of your friends see all the great qualities you passed on to us. Even though I got your hard head and your stubborness I got the best quality of all the love of your family, friends, and your country. You are always in my thoughts and my heart.

Being so far from home i just found out today that you are no longer with us. All i can say is that i am happy for you to be in a better place. But dont think for a single minute that you will not be missed. Butch rest well god-brother

I am truly sorrow for the loss of your brother, husband, kids, grandkids, uncles, aunts, neices, nephews, friend & etc. We all know that God knows best!

My sorrow for your loss, but he is truely resting now with no illness or worries. He is now complete.

My Dearest "Butch", you were always my "hero"...Loving you as a brother and a friend, I will never forget how you used to ride me on your back around the house when you, Mother Owens, and Marilyn moved on East 100th Street...Remember when we would all gather at the house and dance the night away? We would do the jerk, twist, mashed potatoes, horse...etc. Those were wonderful times...I thought I was one of the "bunch" since I used to try and hang around everyone all the time...I remember how...
