I will always remember Butch for his genuine smile, the laugh he had when he was really tickled about something, his devotion to his children and his passion to help others. He loved his 3 kids, and when he spoke of them, he absolutely beamed with pride.
Butch was a good man and I'm proud to have known him and called him a friend.

Butch was a man with a true heart for others, a trustworthy worker and devoted family man. He loved his kids and others sincerely and unconditionally.

I had the pleasure of working with Butch over the last 7 years. He was a great story teller with a wicked sense of humor and an easygoing attitude.
I will miss him.

Butch, I am still in shock and cannot believe you were taken so soon. We had only just begun and I'll never know where our path was going. You were a special man and I cared a lot. I looked forward to meeting your kids and our future dates. Love, Barb

Butch, My heart is sad. It is times like this when you offered your prayers and wisdom, over a cup of coffee, always ending with a hug and an "i love you." You are so greatly missed. I am so blessed to have known you. You are so special to me. Rest my friend.
