There are so many memories.  What is most important is Butch was truly a wonderful, good, kind and loving man.  He loved his family, friends and church family.  He loves his family and grandchildren with all his heart! I can't recall an Easter without Butch selling candles or a festival where he was up all night preparing and checking the electrical outlets setting up the booths, making sure he did everything he could to ensure it's success.  He would tease me about changes to the MDC building department's computers saying oh no they are making another update we will unable to do our inspections for weeks.  Butch was in the US Marines with my eldest brother.  I have respected and looked up to him all my life.  You will be missed but I know without a doubt your name is in the book of the good and righteous.  From the the entire Sutton family, my husband and I,  we know Your memory will be Eternal!   Our most deepest sympathy to his beautiful daughters, grandchildren, sister and extended family.

Butch was such an amazing person.  He was always in Big Brother mode with me. My first memory was riding on the back of his “Ginormous”  motorcycle when I was about 8 years old. He probably drove about 15 miles an hour around the block, but I was so nervous and proud! He was always such an incredible big brother, Dad, Uncle and Papou! He really had a wonderful way with kids-a real softie! ❤️ My most recent happy memory was a long, funny chat we had about politics while I was up in North Carolina around Christmas time.  He just started using Facebook since he retired and had been sending me funny memes on Messenger.  We will miss you dearly Big brother. May you Rest In Peace and May your memory be eternal.

Angelo was a great father, grandfather and a friend. He will be dearly missed, and I will definitely watch out for the chandeliers when entering our church. That was his favoring saying  every time he saw me and I am  going to miss him.
You may rest in peace my friend and don't worry about the girls. We all going to look after them and be there for them.  

I think we can all agree that Butch brought enormous positive energy to everyone around him. I didn’t get the opportunity to know him as well as I would have liked but I am a better person for knowing him. May he rest in heaven and continue to look over his family.

Uncle Butch was an amazing person. I remember growing up we would always see him for the holidays and he would always have a smile on his face. He would make everyone around him laugh and was extremely sarcastic (which we love). One of the best memories and traditions that Uncle Butch started was Greek Easter night. I remember since we were all little kids we would be so excited to wakeup at 11 pm to go to the church followed by a huge feast at Butch’s house. I will cherish those memories forever. Butch was an amazing father, brother, son, grandfather, uncle, and friend and will be missed dearly. 

Forest Lawn South would like to express our deepest and sincerest condolences to you and your family at this most difficult time.  

We wish you peace to bring comfort, the courage to face the days ahead and loving memories to forever hold in your hearts.

Sincerely, 
Forest Lawn Funeral Home and Memorial Gardens South Staff


One day many, many years ago Angelo said to my mom “I think our girls would be great friends”. That’s how I met & became friends/sisters with Angela... Angelo was a “Papou” to all our kids. He was a great dad & a wonderful grandfather. He loved my kids as his own grandkids. I remember growing up in our church and Angelo always being their with my parents working hard during church festivals & events. He was very dedicated to our church.
My husband & I and my parents baptized his grandkids, which officially made us family by God! 
Angelo, we will truly miss you. I promise to be there for Angela, Krystal and the kids. We are family and they will forever have us. We love you and pray that you rest peacefully. Heaven truly gained an angel! ❤️🙏🏼

Angelo and I have been friends and involved in our church for 40 years. We were on the board together. We agreed on a lot but we also had our share of disagreements! No matter what we went through in the end we always sat together and had our coffee. I had the privilege to be “like a mom” to his two daughters. I love them as my own and enjoyed having them in my dance group and GOYA throughout the years. Angelo was a great dad. He took on the roll of mom & dad and did it with lots of love, pride & joy. 
Angelo worked hard to raise his daughters and was also a very hard worker at his job. He always thought of his kids, grandkids and family. 
He also worked hard helping our church with projects throughout the years. He will be missed by everyone who knew him, especially his daughters and grandkids. 
I pray he rests in peace. I know he will be watching over all his family and friends and making sure we are safe. 
Angelo, I will miss our laughs & fights! Rest In Peace my dear friend 🙏🏼

My daddy was an amazing man, drove over 2 hours with a van full of family just to come hold his baby grand daughter. First picture I have of them together. She will never forget her papou he has made such an impact on so many peoples lives.

While we were on the golf course l became very frustrated on one particular hole and slung my club into the middle of the lake at which time I heard Vals voice from behind me say, Hey jackass why didn’t you throw it where you can get it back.

Our last family picture together. It’s not fancy, no one is dolled up but it’s us and it’s beautiful! My dad loved being surrounded by all of us, even though we are loud rowdy bunch. We loved being around him even more. He was the glue that held our family together. We love you daddy!!

Angelo, was a golfing bubby, but he meant a lot more to many people. He was a father who loved his two daughters and was very proud of them. He always showed a huge smile when talking about his grand kids and dearly loved them. He was generous, kind, honest and very fair. When you ride around in a golf cart with someone for four hours, you learn a lot about the individual. We played many rounds of golf and I know what a great person Angelo was. He loved his family, his work and he was very loyal to his God and church. I had a lot of respect for  Angelo and he will be missed by all. RIP
