My sincerest sympathy is extended to the Dixon Family. I too am a former classmate of Bob's. The years may separate us from our friends but they are never forgotten. Bob was a very special friend who I will hold in my thoughts, prayers and in my heart!

I'm very sorry to hear about Butch's passing on. He and I graduated from Ridley Township High School in 1964. I still have a picture of Butch, several other fellows and me with our prom dates.

Rest In Peace, Butch.

I pray God will help each and everyone to
find a way to keep the sweet memories alive,
to heal their broken hearts and keep them open
to face another day because life will move on
and the sun will shine again.
And another Green Raider joins the
Heavenly Reunion.
Till we meet again on the other side
Of the Rainbow Bridge.

Bob was my friend. We went to school together and knew each other as adults. He was a fine man, a man of God his family can be proud of. Gentle, compassionate, loving and a real man to be reckoned with. May his family celebrate his life as he is welcomed into heaven.
