Albert C. "Chuck" Butera

I love and miss you grandpa

Almost a month Dad since you left us and we are still trying to wake up from what surely must be a nightmare. We cannot imagine life without you here, your warmth, your smile, your jokes, your love, the kisses you always gave before hanging up. How could this be it's still much too painful to bear. Everytime I think of those final days I am tormented that I ever left your side.

Dad, it has been a little over 2 wks since you passed on.. I can't begin to tell you how much I miss you.
I can't believe that you are not here and that you will no longer be calling me to let me know that you bought pepperoni.. I promise Dad that I will visit your grave often even though I know you are in Heaven, but I will take care of it and plant alot of red flowers as a reminder of how much you were loved on this earth... I wish you could come to me and let me know what it is like...

To the Butera family,
My prayers are with you all at this time. I always have heard wonderful things about "Dad" through Lauri. I felt like I knew him and that he was the best father.

Dear Family, I say with so much love and respect. Thank you for letting me share in your past, present and your futures. I have been so honored to have been with you all during this very precious time. I love Dad very much. I respected him and always felt like part of HIS family. I see how he effected all of your lives, because I have watched you all through these past few days. He would be so proud of each of you. Your strength, respect and courage you have all shown are a direct reflection...

Life gives us so many roads to travel. No one can be fully perpaired for the roads that end. But remembering all the joy, love, good memories on the road that we all traveled with Chuck! He was a great Father, Grandfather, Great Grandfather. God Bless Butera family. Remember Chuck is always with you as your Angle above he loves you all, as much as you love him.

Dad I can't imagine doing anything in my life without you as a part of it. I love you so much and will continue living my life the same way I have watched you do yours for so many years. With compassion, warmth, kindness, love... We weren't suppose to lose you, this wasn't suppose to happen and for the rest of my life I will wonder why it did. You are a great Dad, a great friend, a great man. Love you Dad, I love you.

Grandpa,
It still hasn't hit me that you are gone. Thank you for all of the memories. My life was blessed because I had you as my grandpa. Now you get to see frank live. Miss you and love you

Dad, I can't begin to tell you how heartbroken we all feel now that you are no longer with us... Our lives will never be the same again.. You were a great father and grandfather. You always said that you were blessed for having such great daughters, but really dad we were the ones who were really blessed...How I would give anything to kiss your cheek and to hear your voice again.. I don't know how we are going to go on without you Dad. How do we say goodbye to the greatest man us girls ever...
