Lorraine, Mary, Ann, George, Joe and the entire Butchart family,

Lorraine and all the Butcharts,
I am so sorry to hear of Mike's passing. He was such a sweet man!

Mike always had a kind word and asked about my family when I saw him.
May he rest in the peace of Our Lord.

So sorry for your loss of Mike.
He was a neighbor on Seventh St.
When Mike was in JA they made cookie sheets,
I bought two, and still use them.
My thoughts are with all of you.
God Bless.

Mary and family,
I am very sorry for your family's loss. Mike was a kind soul and was very dedicated to our Advisory Council at Region 2 Area Agency on Aging. We appreciated his commitment and interest in serving the needs of older adults and people with disabilities in our community. He will be missed!

I am so sorry for your loss. I have memories of Mike before he went in the service taking Ann, Mary Elizabeth and me to St Mary's every morning. Mike made me less nervous about starting high school.My thoughts are with you all.
