Walter C. Butson, age 82, passed away Oct. 13, 2021 at Greenway Manor in Spring Green.  He was born in Platteville on Feb. 20, 1939 to the late William and Marie (Mosbrooke) Butson.  Walter graduated Platteville High School and shortly after he enlisted in the U.S. Navy.  After his service to our country he returned to Platteville and was united in marriage to Arlene Dresen on July 2, 1960; she preceded him in death on July 9, 2011.  Walter owned and operated a meat market in Platteville for a few years and then later became a route driver for Interstate Periodicals in Madison.  This started his career behind the wheel where he drove for over 20 years before driving milk truck for L&R Adler and then later at Alsum Foods Potatoe Farm in Arena until her retired.  Walter enjoyed the outdoors, hunting and fishing and looked forward to the next auction.  He and Arlene enjoyed spending time with family, traveling and winter trips to Texas to visit friends.

He is survived by six children, Todd (Stella), LaVern, Lori, Terry, Wally (Dena), and Mern (Judy); 14 grandchildren; 8 great-grandchildren; and a sister, Della (Donnie).

In addition to his parents and wife, he was preceded by a brother, Delbert.

Walter's family would like to thank the staff and healthcare professionals at Greenway Manor and Agrace Hospice for taking such good care of Walter.
