James Martin Butcko

Jim and I would play games in his basement while our parents were visiting upstairs. One time we were playing Monopoly. My parents wanted to go home, but we begged to finish the game. They said OK, not knowing what we were playing! The game went on until well after midnight, when they finally asked what we were playing. We said: Monopoly! The game ended immediately!

Most of my memories are from when we were kids. I especially remember the games we played in grandpa Butcko´s basement. Playing marathon Monopoly in the basement on Collegewood! And teaching him how to dance in that same basement when we were in high school! Dawn and I will miss him greatly! God bless you, Jim
