Butch had the best laugh and was such a great friend to my Dad. The fact that they both survived their trips back and forth from Laramie was in itself a miracle. I feel very blessed to have known him. My heart aches and you are all in my thoughts and prayers.

We haven't know a finer man than Butch. He was taken far too soon from this earth and will be greatly missed but remembered always.... We won't be able to go to a Cowboy game without glancing up to see if he's in his seat... Sue and kids, we are heart-broken over your loss. All our sympathy, Mark and Becky
