I love that you have that picture of Butch as that is the picture I have of him in my mind. During all the years we worked together, I never saw him without that smile - always looking like he knew something the rest of us didn't. I know he will be greatly missed by family and friends.

Dear Lisa, I was truly saddened to learn of your father's passing. I am so sorry that I learned of it too late to attend the service. Having never lost a parent at this point in my life, I can only imagine what you are going through. Just know that I am here for you and if there is anything I can do, I am just a phone call away. My sincere condolences to you and your family.
