My heart is heavy with sorrow. Uncle Butch was my life-long close personal friend, my hunting and fishing buddy, and co-hort in crime. I looked up to him, cherished his guidance and love, and always looked forward to spending time with him. His zest for life, and his commitment to his family and his God are examples to follow for us all.
I'll miss him terribly, and will cherish his memory always.
