Knowing them brings us joy and inspiration, and when they’re gone, memories of all they’ve done stay with us… Butch was one of those people. I’m grateful to have known such a special person.

To Patti and family, Butch and I go way back, and although it had been a minute since I had the pleasure of hanging out with him, but I’ll miss him just the same! He was a good friend and I remember fondly some of the adventures we shared in our formative years! I’m sorry I didn’t get by sooner to visit!
I would encourage all who read this to not put off spending time with family or friends, because we never know when it will be too late!
Rest In peace Butch! And God bless Patti, Sylvia, and the rest of the family in this difficult time!

Butch will be missed so much. Although we only saw him at the Moose Lodge he was always so nice and pleasant to my family and my grandchildren. He was always being funny any keeping the lodge going. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family during this time of sadness and grief. May God wrap his loving arms around you all and give you peace and comfort knowing that he is pain free and with his Lord.
