I only knew you as "Butchie" when I was a kid in Roxbury. I am sure you are one and the same. You always said hello and smiled to the younger kids when you passed by. You were one of the "nice" guys from the neighborhood. I am sure you had a very full and happy life. Your wife and children will certainly feel a void without you. May god bless and watch over them. My deepest sympathies to your family.

Fondly,

Joanne DePaula
