Not sure what to say?

Butch was always kind and cheerful to me when I was a little girl visiting my dear godparents. I'm praying for you all. ❤

My sincere condolences to his family and friends on the passing of Butch. Butch and I spent a lot of time together in our formative years, hanging out, riding our bikes, and going to the swim club. We had a lot of laughs. Butch was a great friend and a cool cat. He will be sorely missed. May He Rest in Peace.

Elissa, Deb, Marlene, Pam, Vanessa and Tina. So many good memories from our childhood I have , hanging out in the basement at aunt Eileens and uncle Bills home. Times change as we change and grow older. Hold on to the good memories and love that is shared never let that go. I pray Our Lord will give you peace as you are going through this and hold on to each other and love each other forever. Love you guys your cousin Sharon

God Bless you ,Butch.
May your ,sisters,daughters and grandchildren be at peace knowing you are in a place of peace and beauty.
Your cuz,
Mel

Thinking of you Tina. ❤

I'll remember his smile and his shirts with no sleeves. Here's to his peace and memory
