So sorry to hear of Butch´s passing Janet. A little late but just heard from Tom Madliger. Butch and I went to International Business College at the same time and both ended up at Reynolds after completion. One thing I remember he was a good tennis player in his youth. He was always a good friend and an upbeat, positive guy. I know he is missed by many but especially you.
RIP Butchie.

Butch came into the NCSC at Reynolds and Reynolds during a very stressful time. He was a very calming influence on all of us. My thoughts are with Janet and his family.

It's one of those times I don't know how to say it. It's breaking my heart, but I just have to face it. Tomorrow I'll see you in my mind. I'll play it all back a thousand times. But today...how do I say goodbye forever...
Butch fought a courageous battle for 4 years. I'm sure now he's enjoying a beer like he use to. Rest In Peace.
