ORRIN D. BUTTS  
On Wednesday, January 14, 2015, our father, Orrin Dalton Butts, 91 years of age, of Lamoni, Iowa, passed away near his home in Gaithersburg MD.  Orrin was a beloved father of five - his sons, Luis, Douglas and Bruce and daughters, Rosa and Janette; grandfather "Pampa" to eight granddaughters, two grandsons and three great-grandchildren.  He was the son of James Orrin Butts and Zella Williams Butts of Decatur, Nebraska; and brother to Betty Levere Tabor (deceased) and is survived by his brother, James Dallas Butts.  In 1943, Orrin served our country as a proud member of the United States Army, he served in the CBI in India and as a Radio Operator flying into China. Enlisted in the Air Force in 1952, and became an instructor in the USAF Radio Schools at Scott AFB Illinois and Keesler, AFB. A proud Veteran who served in WWll as well as the Korean War. Once he entered civilian life, he made his living as an electronic engineer and Technical writer. Orrin was loved and highly respected by all that met him. His special prayer at our family dinners will be sorely missed. First and foremost Orrin loved and appreciated his family and felt that family was the most important thing in life.  A small gathering will be held for family and friends to honor and celebrate his life on January 31, 2015 at 3:30 p.m., at the home of his son, Luis.
