Howard L. "Butch-Bear" Sidebottom Jr.

Thanks to all who wrote about my Bear. I couldn't go on each day without my family.
Bear was my soul mate and love of my life.
We had alot of fun together and a lot of adventures. He made me laugh everyday and I thank God for our 28 years together. I never met a more kind, loving and generous man. Apart of me will always be missing, and my heart will always be sore
without him. I love you always Baby!
Love your Forever Wife Jan Jan

Dear Jan Jan, im just gonna let you know that when we were up at the hospital I had so much fun with the three sisters. Although we werent up there for a good thing. I will never forget the time when he squeezed my hand and when I found out that he was gone that was all I could think about. Jan Jan I love you soo much and I want you to know that I will always be here for you. Butch e Bear will always be with us and take care of us. I love you
Sammy

Janet and Sara We are very sad for your loss the little time we new butch he was a great person and always had a smile on his face he will be missed by many. If you need anything let us know! Love Junior,Marie and Kids

Dear Aunt Janet,It's still hard to believe that uncle Butch is gone. Butch always felt I could do anything and everything. The last day I saw him will be in my memories forever! Butch wasnt feeling 100% but he was happy to see me. Though we didnt have a long talk that day I feel in my heart he was proud of me and loved me very much. And I loved him the same if not more. Uncle Butch will never be forgotten. Thank you so much for bringing Uncle Butch into our lives and letting us be apart of...

Janet and Sarah , I know how yall fell trust me. I ove yallo soo much yall are just like family to me and much more.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

Our thoughts & prayers go out to Butch's family. We have known Barbara & Bernie for many years through the American Legion Iroquois Post 229, and they have shared lots of stories with us about Butch. May God grant each of you peace and comfort at this time.

Janet and All Family,
I was dumb struck yesterday when Amy texted me and told me that Butch had passed away to be with our Lord above. I am so sorry for your loss sweety! I know we take things for granted in life thinking that this can't happen to us at such young ages, but the Lord has plans for us all and he chooses the time. You are a very strong woman Janet, and a large family who loves you and will be there for you to help this loss go a little smoother. Butch is watching over you...

You are in my thoughts and prayers.
