My sincerest condolences to the Capuano family. Butch was a great guy, one of the best. I knew him when I was a student at Neumann, and later, when I was a teaching colleague with him. We often shared a table at lunch together in the faculty dining room. Butch was very supportive when I was new to teaching. I will never forget his friendship.

The Barry Playground years were such fun with Butch. I was a regular there, then worked there for two summers under Butch's guidance. Learned much from him, and laughed a lot. Louis and Lisa were just little kids then. Condolences to all.
