Uncle Bud will NEVER be forgotten. I usually only see him twice a year & it just won't be the same anymore. My prayers are with everyone during this sad time. Just remember that he would want us all to be smiling, laughing and enjoying life as he did. Love to all!!!
I remember when we lived in Michigan and came back for visits and the Rowton's living next door to Uncle Albert. We played as small kids then and we moved to Scott City. Bud was always smiling as he was moving 100 mph all the time with a red rag hanging out of his pocket. Oh how us baby boomers wish we had service like Bud use to give and we didn't have to try and get the credit card machines to work at the gas stations now and have to clean our own windshields. Neighbors to Emil's for years too and men who worked so hard not understanding a 40 hr week. He will be missed, but you have as the community and friends so many memories to cherish. Our thoughts and prayers go out to all of you. Randy and Della
Just heard about Bud's passing, I am so sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers to you all. It was great working for Chuck at the station, I remember having lots of long talks with Bud.
Susan & family, wanted you to know that you are all in our prayers. As so many people have already written, Bud was a gentle and friendly man. I loved going to the station. He was always so nice and made you feel special. I played ball for Marcy's so there was that healthy rivalry there, but with the competion was also respect for both Bud & Mr. Marcy. Knowing he is at peace & you will be able to be with him again one day is a comfort. Scott City has wonderful memories for me & the Rowten family are part of those memories.
Dear Jean and family, Scott City has lost another great person! Bud was always smiling and friendly, one of the first people we met when we moved here. He always made us feel important, and was always such a caring person. We will all miss him.
My condolences to the family. One of my fondest memories of growing up in Scott City is of going to the Vickers station and the genuine care Bud had for everyone he met. Bud was truly a gentle and kind man. He will be missed.
Jean, Chuck, Betty, Susan, Becky and families: What fond memories I have of Bud - at the Vicker's station when we'd stop by there and all the times at your house when we hung out - he always made me laugh. What a dear, kind man and hope you all know how much he was admired and loved! My deepest sympathies - I hope the sweetest of memories bring you warmth at this time of sorrow!
Our deepest sympathy to the family of Bud . I enjoyed many years of playing ball for the Vickers team. He was a very kind and generous man, with a ready smile for everyone will be truly missed.
When you hear someone say " you just don`t see any of that good service anymore" The first person that I think of is Bud Rowton. Ask anyone and they will tell you that he was the best! Scott City lost a long time friend and god has gained a very important one. I love you all! Pix
The community lost a very Good Man, when Bud went home to the Lord!I'm very glad that I was allowed to work for him while I was in high school, at hands down, the Best Service station I ever saw!
I will forever remember how kind and gentle Bud was. May you find peace and comfort knowing he is in a perfect place. I know the past days have been very difficult for all of you. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. Love, Lisa

Jean, Betty, Chuck, Susan, Becky and families: We were so sorry to hear about Bud. He was such a nice and loving man. He never had a bad word about anyone and always had a great smile. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all during this difficult time. Let God wrap his loving arms around each of you during this time and in the months to come.
