I read Butch's obit in the Post Courier with great sadness. After he left the Charleston area he kept in touch with us by phone. He always called at Christmas, Easter, every holiday, and many times inbetween just to touch base. He was a steadfast friend and we will miss him.

I have fond memories of "Butch" from our neighborhood in Hanahan, SC, - growing up in the '60s as well as a considerate co-worker with Xerox in Charleston. Butch, for me, is one of those stand-out folks that left a great impression. He will be missed - but always remembered.
