Not sure what to say?

I will always remember the talks I had with Butch. He was so positive and enthusiastic and always knew what to say to make any situation better. His smiling face will remain in my memory.

You are in my prayers. Butch was the best brother God could have chosen for me. I am blessed for having him in my life. These last few years have taught me that there was nothing we could not overcome as love of family is strength. There is a void that can never be filled but we will be together again someday and this will carry me.

Sandy, Sean, Ryan and Troy,
Butch was much like brother to me growing up and there's a big hole in my heart now that he is no longer with us. The way he touched each of our lives will endure forever. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

I very much enjoyed being Butch's secretary when he worked at Martin, Pergram & Browning. My thoughts are with all of you. Joan (Dorn) Swarts

We offer you our prayers and sympathy. Butch was a friend and more. He helped Judy and I out in a time of need. We will not ever forget the way Butch reached out to help others in need.
God has welcomed him into his Kingdom. Pain free and Glorious.
Joe and Judy Hart

My deepest sympathy to Sandy, Sean, Ryan and Troy. I have always considered Butch to be a very kind, caring person and on the top of my friend list. We'll miss you.

Sandy, Sean, Ryan and Troy,
So sorry to hear of your loss. Butch was a Phi Kappa Tau '74 fraternity brother of mine at OSU. He always gave me good advice and support.

Although we didn't socialize much, I considered Butch one of my best friends. I always treasured my time with him. There has never been, or will there be, a better human being. My heart is broken. All of my love and prayers to Sandy and their children.

I was so sorry to hear of your loss. Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help at this time.
