Not sure what to say?

Audrey and family. I got to know Don through Russ Bennett, so a little later in his life. Thoroughly enjoyed sharing a little time on mechanical hobbies with him. Always enjoyed his witty upbeat disposition. Quite an animated "character". Happy to had a chance to share some of this lifetime with him. Sincerely, Scott Taylor, Westbrook

Miss you, Dad.

Dear Audrey, My heart and prayers go out to you and your family as you mourn the loss of your husband, father and grandfather. I will keep you all in my prayers. Sincerely, Grace H. Rogers

We played together at Annie’s farm. I think I was 4 and he was 3. Rip Butch.

A life well-lived. God bless all.

Audrey, so sorry to hear of Don’s passing. Will keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers during this time. Hang on to those memories and remember he’ll always be with you.

I was fortunate enough to meet Butch and only wish we all had more time with him. My heart goes out to Audrey and their entire family.

What a great friend. Many laughs and pranks. We will miss you.

There’s nothing more wonderful than a family that stays together and grows together for generations ❤ So many memories to be thankful for and to pass on.
