I was a student at Westminster High School when I first met Butch. He was a main fixture in the halls at WHS and was also so friendly and funny. He was a great dancer and I loved dancing with him. Barb and I graduated together in 1967 and have been corresponding. She told me that Butch was a wonderful husband, father and brother. I will be thinking of you.
