Our retirees breakfast group will miss Bill immensely. He was a 'Jack of all Trades" but also brightened everyone's' day with his sense of humor. We are saddened by the loss but we will always have a smile when we think of him. The "Class of 57 had their Dreams" but they lost a great one this time.

When he first came to Saint Thomas Grade School, you could tell he was a scholar when he answered questions. His name, he said, was Mynard Edward Alloishes Butts the third. He was a good man. I didn't see him much after grade school.

Dear Angie and Family, So sad about Bill´s death. Worked with him on many CCHS projects always fun! Pshaw on the Chardonnay or Brandy.... Westside memories call for the raising of a glass/can of Bud Light in his honor! Rest in peace dear friend and sincere condolences to you, Angie and your family. Great picture of him...
