Not sure what to say?

Carol and family, So very sorry to read of Butch's passing. I enjoyed playing volleyball against him and his fellow JB Young players all those years ago. I know he's been in such pain and suffering. That is the only consolation of his passing. Rest in peace, Butch and have fun to Bobby!

I lived with Merlin in a rooming house in Davenport for a few years and you couldn't ask for a nicer person to share a house with than him. RIP my friend.
