Sara, I'm so sorry for your loss. I remember Butch from the time he was in high school with Jim. What a character! he was always so nice to me and Jim's Dad. over the years Jim has tried to keep in touch with him. He always spoke of their days at WHS with a laugh. Keep the good times in your heart and rely on your family to give you comfort.
love,, Marsha Brown
