Gerald L. "Jerry" Butts

I always say I love my job. One big reason is because I meet and get to know some amazing people. I've been cutting Mr. Butts hair for 10 plus years. I've learned alot about him over the years. He loved his family and look forward to their phone calls. He also loved and was very passionate about helping his community. I admire him for that. He had the best sense of humor and always had smile on his face no matter how much pain he may have been in. I'd always ask how he was doing. He's tell...

Jerry was a fine man and one of the architects of downtown Moline. His contributions to the community, in concert with the likes of John Slover, Jerry Taylor, Don Margenthaler, and Bob Hanson, cannot be overstated or fully appreciated.

To know Gerry was a privilege for sure. I was so fortunate to be a part of projects that he was involved with. He was. An excellent speaker. Very entertaining and informative. He could make me laugh and or smile every time I had the pleasure of being in his presence. He brought value and professionalism to all he was interested in. To his family, I hope you were aware of what a good man he endeavored to be. Comfort to you all at this time of adjustment and change that living life gives...

So sorry for your loss!! We loved taking care of him. He was so lucky to have Robbie to be there for so long!!
