Biography: We are so sad to lose Frank Michael Butts, who fell asleep in the Lord, Friday, December 18, 2015 after a difficult battle with pancreatic cancer. He was lovingly surrounded by his immediate family when he slipped away. Frank was born on October 14, 1949, in Amarillo, Texas. Early in life he attended Amarillo High School and was a lineman for the varsity football team. After graduating in 1971, he attended West Texas A & M University in Canyon Texas, where he received his Bachelor?s Degree in Business Administration. He became a CPA, securing his first job with an accounting firm in Houston. His professional career of 30+ years was extensive. He specialized in auditing hospitals and nursing homes in 10 states which required a great deal of travel. He retired from corporate accounting in 2000 to enjoy his love for consulting, mentoring young people, and building model ships. He was a master craftsman in everything he did. As a faithful member of Annunciation Greek Orthodox Church, Frank worked tirelessly in the kitchen, helping to make baklava and cooking in the kitchen for the annual International Greek Food Festival.
