Courtnie,
We just want you to know we miss your dad too. We would talk with him in the mornings at Jordan's Place while we ate breakfast. His smile was always there and he enjoyed talking about you and playing shuffleboard. We know he loved you.

We will miss his sweet personality in our office. He was very proud of his daughter and his face always lit up when he spoke of her. He was a very thoughtful person and will be missed by all of us. Our thoughts and prayers are with your family.

So sorry for your loss. Butch always had a kind word and a bright smile no matter how he felt or what was going on in his life. He will forever hold a special place in our hearts. He often referred to us as his biker friends and would always talk about wanting to ride with us but given the opportunity he was full of excuses. We will take that ride together someday in Heaven! I always admired his courage and strength and the love he had for his daughter. RIP

Butch was a great man who touched a lot of lives. He was my salesman at 84 Lumber and every time I went into his office he showed me his daughter's latest picture with a big grin on his face. He will be missed...

How blessed he was to have you in his life, and how blessed we all are to have had him in our life. We pray your love and memories of Butch will comfort you until we see him again in Heaven.
