I am so sorry to hear about Mike Butash. He handled our account at Smith Barney since our marriage in 1997 Mike was hilarious.. always had a joke on almost every call. Jill and Julie and Andrew... I will miss your husband and father. He told me about your trip to Europe Julie... how exciting that must have been and i think if i remember correctly Mike met up with you over in Europe some years back. I am truly sorry for your loss. I really liked Mike. Rhonda Tracey

Andrew and Julie,

My grief is fresh and deep. Those that knew him knew his love for you was palpable. That complex man that was your father, was my friend. I will miss him.

Dear Jill, Julie, Andrew and Tom-

I was so sorry to read Michael's obituary in the newspaper this morning. To those of us over 70, Mike was a young man and much too young to now be gone.

I know his passing will leave an empty spot in your hearts, but know that many of us are thinking about you and praying for you.
