Blessings of peace to your family. I went to high school with JB and like so many of our classmates, I will remember him for his infectious smile, his heartwarming personality, and for him just being one of those friends you could always count on. He was such a good man and its quite evident that he was even a better family man to all of you. My sympathy and love to each and every one of you.

Jim Butler Families, Please accept my heartfelt sympathy and prayers. I first met Jim in Junior High School. I always looked to his leadership and reflected on him later years as well. He was a very kind and caring person. Just a real joy to be around. I always thought how proud his parents and family must be to have such a wonderful son and brother. I will truly miss his large grin, laugh and especially his kindness. To all of his families Bless You.
Thoughts and Prayers. We will miss...

Dee Dee and Family, please accept my heartfelt condolences and prayers upon the death of JB. He was a man of faith and a great inspiration to me. I feel privileged to have given him Holy Communion so shortly before his death. I will miss his characteristic smile and good humor very much. May the Lord give you consolation as our prayers accompany him into eternal life.
