 Obituary:  Burch, L. Dean 80 Aug. 22, 1932 Aug. 08, 2013 L. Dean Burch of Vancouver, WA, passed away on Aug. 8, 2013. Born in the midst of the Dust Bowl in Beaver County, Okla., to Francis and Lela Burch. As a small boy, his parents moved him and his brother, Leroy (deceased), and sister, Lorene (deceased), to Oregon. His early years were spent in Sherwood, before finally moving to Portland. Dean was a very active athlete and excelled at Jefferson High School in football, golf and track. Golf would remain a lifelong passion with him, earning him seven holes-in-one and several "eagles". He was a previous member of Royal Oaks Country Club, Orchard Hills Country Club in Washington and presently, El Cid in Mazatlan, Mexico.

Drafted during the Korean War, he served in the U.S. Coast Guard in the Pacific. After being honorably discharged, he attended and graduated from the University of Oregon and remained a constant "Duck" fan all his life. His career started as a lumber trader, working with Japanese and Oregon firms, which enabled him to travel the world. His proudest achievement, though, was starting and operating the Sextant Bar & Galley on the Columbia River, forty years ago. The Sextant has become a local landmark, where members of his old football team and other high school mates meet for get-togethers every month. His sense of adventure led him to all the continents. As a young adult, Dean sailed in the Trans-Pacific yacht race from San Francisco to Hawaii. In later years, he traveled and lived winters in Mexico, a country he truly loved.

Dean's candid observations and sly humor will be greatly missed by his wife of 33 years, Mary. He leaves behind sons, Don Burch (Candace)and Mike Burch (Christy); daughter, Karen Englund (Jon); as well as stepdaughters, Helene Guinette and Elizabeth Guinette; five grandchildren; and four step-grandchildren; also a multitude of friends. A Celebration of Life is planned for Aug. 25, from 1-6 p.m., at his residence. Interment at Willamette National and Pleasant View Cemetery.

Word was received here yesterday that John E. Butson, of near Wilsonville had died Wednesday from the effects of heart trouble. He leaves a wife and six children to mourn his loss. He was a uncle of Chester and Ben Tooze of Sherwood. Hollingsworth & Son have charge of the funeral, which takes place today. We were unable to ascertain further facts before going to press. It is said Mr. Butson was a man who was well liked by all who knew him.

Obituary: Oswego Times, August 17, 1917
Mr. John Butson passed away Tuesday after a number of weeks of severe suffering from enlargement of the heart. He was 67 years of age, was born in England, and lived 26 years in this vicinity. Mr. Abbot conducted the services at the Hood View cemetery. He was a half brother of Prof. Tooze of Oregon City. The funeral was exclusively automobiles, the first one of the kind here.
