Obituary
Carl "Butch" Eugene Tuenge, 64, passed peacefully in his sleep Feb. 12, 2011, at his home in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
Carl was born Dec. 21, 1946, to Carl "Bud" A. Tuenge Jr. and Mary V. Cooper Tuenge in North Platte. Mary passed in 1976.
Graduating from North Platte High School in the top five scholastically in the class of 1965, he received his undergraduate degree from the University of Nebraska and his Masters in Organic Chemistry in 1975, from Western University of Washington, Bellingham, Washington. In 1970, Carl drew a low number in the draft and served in the U.S. Army as a Medic with Military Police stationed in Asia during the Vietnam War. He was a member of the Phi Kappa PSI fraternity while at Nebraska.
Carl loved Art, Sciences and traveling around the world. He and Siti traveled extensively throughout Europe, Asia and the Middle East.
Carl was anxiously looking forward to setting up his long-planned "chemistry lab" at the time of his death.

Guest Book
I knew Carl when I first arrived in Houston in 1987. We became job hunting buddies and served as volunteers for helping persons to look for jobs in the chemical engineering and chemistry fields in the Houston area. We went together to Florida and he was a frequent visitor to my home and attended birthdays of my son. My deepest condolences to his wife and family.

To Carl's family and friends, Carl (That is the name we knew him by in Houston.) treasured and hungered for more relationship with you. He carried his love for you deep in his chest. Carl moved out of Houston in the early 1990s, and there are still people who ask, "Have you heard from Carl?" A friend once drove through Smithville and on the spur of the moment stopped to visit Carl. He guessed that Carl might be in the local library, so he looked up the library, drove over and, yep, Carl was...

My sympathy goes to you and your family. I was always in awe of Butch's intelligence and of his phenomenal vocabulary. It is difficult to lose a family member. Godspeed in your healing.

The picture brings memories of an ever present smile whether in class or asking to dance with my date at an armory dance. Butch called on his way through Nebraska to see if we could get together for coffee. Unfortunately I was out of town and we only talked for a minute. I wish that meeting had taken place. My prayers are with his family and friends!
