Duane "Duey" Butler

My heart goes out to you. I have watched with enjoyment the special love that Duane and Betty have. I loved Duane's stories and his excitement about history. I looked forward to seeing both Duane and Betty at our Red Cross dinners. My thoughts and prayers are with you that you may be comforted by the wonderful memories you share.

He was a credit to his profession and provided a personal touch to everyone that he came in contact with. After having lost contact with Duane for several years after our retirements, I had the fortune to have lunch with him several months ago. We parted that day saying that we should keep in touch more often. I regret that this...

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends. I have to say for the past 44 years of knowing the Butler's, Duane is one of the funniest men I have ever known. He is the biggest teaser ever. (at least with me he was) I remember as I grew older and moved away from Boulder Lane, I always went back to see the Butler's and Avilla's.

There are no words to express my sadness. Fourth of July parties, holidays, birthdays, weddings...my life has always included the Butlers. I love you all very much. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Always.
