J. WILLIAM "BUTT
BIENER, 99, of West
Bloomfield, died
Nov. 4, 2009.
He was a content
and happy man — a
person of integrity,
grace and charm.
Biener
He always said "each
day is a blessing." In
fact, it was those who knew him that
were blessed. Blessed by his uncon-
ditional love, his upbeat take on life,
his love of animals, the encourage-
ment he gave unfailingly, his wit, his
true appreciation and love of women,
the songs he sang, including "Go To
Sleep My Little Buckaroo;' "Among
My Souvenirs,""I Did It My Way:'
"Side By Side," "Smile," and "When
Irish Eyes Are Smiling" complete with
accent, and his own version of a rak-
ish sailor's song; his recitations of
Patrick Henry's speech and Bryant's
"Thanatopsis" and the scrabble he
played, never cheating and still most
times winning.
Mr. Biener is survived by his ador-
ing children, Allyn Ravitz of Wolverine
Lake and Marilyn Gallant of Aspen,
Colo.; sons-in law, Charles R. Schmitte
Jr. and Melvin Gallant; grandchildren,
Jason Ravitz (and Melissa Dworkin),
Jessica Ravitz, Elizabeth Eaman,
Michael Gordon (and Sara), Julie
Cohen (and Daniel); great-grandchil-
dren, nieces, nephews, other family
members and the many friends he
made in Michigan, especially those
from the Meer Apartments, JCare
and Visiting Nurses Association, who
helped him live "independently" dur-
ing his last few years.
He was the husband of the late
Minnia.
Interment in Florida. Contributions
may be made to Jewish Family
Services, the ASPCA, Best Friends
Animal Society, the Humane Society
