For Eric Brooke and family, my love goes out to all of you may you all feel the love of our Jesus Crist during this Holiday season Love Deanna & Ron Kirby

I´ve known Mr Schwab since 1979 while I was at school at VCU in 1979. Mr Schwab always made myself and his daughter´s friends welcome and loved. He was the dad I wish I had. I thank Carol, Dutch, Kevin and Kurt (with his rubber chicken) for sharing their awesome dad with us. Mr Schwab will always be in my thoughts

I just read about Butch´s passing what great guy my dad I had the opportunity to know Butch and Jack from working in Key West back in the early 70´s my brothers and I and my dad worked for Allan Gay. Again my deepest condolences Kenneth lamm

To all, please know my family loved Butch and will always remember his kind heart. Hugs; you have lost a true champion.

Watts, I am so sorry for the loss of your husband. I am praying for you and your family. Cynthia Warren

My Wishing the families lo e and prayers at this time . God bless and keep you in his hands during this difficult time Deanna & Ron Kirby

As a young carpenter, I worked with Butch, building homes in the early 1970s. He generously helped my wife and I build our first home. Always upbeat, kind, and generous, Butch touched a lot of people positively and made a positive mark on his community.

Exploring Mem Gym as a First Year in 1964, I came upon wrestling practice. I peeped in an thought to myself "I'd like to try that". I expressed my interest to Coach Schwab. He said "Go downstairs and get some gear; tell them I sent you and come back. Let's see what you've got"...something like that. I made his team. What an honor for me!! Thanks Coach! You enrich the soil of my memories and I'm sorry that you had to leave. God bless you...George King

I am so sorry for your loss. Mr Schwab was an amazing kind man and always had a beautiful smile. Keeping your family in my prayers.
