May God comfort us as we grieve the loss of Uncle Butch. His smile and humor will always be remembered. May he be at peace in his new home with his wife. May we continue to remember him and allow his joyful spirit to continue to live on through us.

My memories of my Uncle Butch include his daily phone calls to his sister at 5:15 am. We never needed an alarm clock with Uncle Butch around. I still think of him every morning at 5:15 while I am getting ready for work. I really miss hearing the phone ring knowing he's on the other end.
I will especially miss his winter road reports that he gave to me through my mom as he was plowing the lots at Burns-Kish.

I will be sending my Uncle Butch off with some CUBS gear, maybe he will have the Big Guy up above help the CUBS win the World Series. I am also sending a WHITE SOX cap just to poke him one last time - he loved doing it to us, so I will get my poke in one last time! I bought a puzzle from Mackinac 2 years ago and have yet to assemble it, so I will take my sister's advice and put "1" piece in his pocket since one piece usually ended up with him anyway, until he could be the one to fit it in and say he finished the puzzle! I will really miss him when I have to drive my mom to Mackinac this year without him. We were co-pilots for the drive and he enjoyed when it was my turn behind the wheel because he was able to take his nap in the back seat. He said I was one of the few people that he actually felt comfortable enough with to do the driving so that he could close his eyes and take his nap. The back seat sure will be quiet this year. . . . . .

I will ALWAYS appreciate Butch. I was one of Tim’s gang who hung out at the funeral home and had a chance to work with him on many funerals. Butch always pushed me to go back to college - which was one of the motivating reasons I did. I will miss him, his Greetings of “hello Brucie”, sense of dry humor and good cheer. God - know you had a good man in Butch, a good example for many, treated all of us in Tim’s gang as one of his own. Thanks Butch for your friendship through my developing years of life, you helped make me whom I am today. Bruce Trimbur

Though we saw each other only a few times, my memories of Uncle Butch include a broad smile, a hearty laugh and a sense of fun and kindness.

I am grateful to my Uncle Butch for everything that he did for my mother and our family. I will miss seeing him on any one of his favorite benches on Mackinac Island. To make sure that he gets the last word, I hope that someone slips the 'last' piece of the puzzle into his pocket for me.

We have pleasant memories of Butch (and Eileen) that we will treasure always. He was a sweet man and we will surely miss him. God bless his family as they grieve his passing.

Being a friend to Tim Kish meant growing up around the funeral home. That meant seeing Butch. I have only fond memories of him. He had quite a sense of humor. Always acted like we were a nuisance, but his smile said otherwise. I will miss his banter, sarcasm and friendship. May God grant him peace for he was a good man.

Butch was the perfect uncle. He made my Aunt Eileen so very happy and he was devoted to her. He always had a smile and loved telling those fish stories. He and my dad had some great times "up north" (as if there wasn't enough water to fish in here). His kindnesses to my parents, especially my mom after my dad passed, was hard to describe. He was truly like a brother to her. He was loved by all the nieces and nephews and will be missed by all. He's surely deserved peaceful rest, and can be assured a great place in heaven. God Bless Butch.
