My deepest condolences on the passing of Butch. He and I worked together for a time in the Communications Unit of the NYC Transit Police. He was quite a character and more often than not, had us in stitches with a story or joke. Easygoing and laid-back, yes, but when the stuff hit the fan, Butch was right in the thick of it without hesitation. Godspeed Butch!

We didn't talk much since parting ways from the police department. But we did talk. I will miss our infrequent chats.
He has no more battles to fight. He was a good guy.

Butch was always a very genuine and giving person with a heart of gold. He was a unique individual and a GREAT friend who knew how to enjoy life to its fullest. Butch knew how to be happy regardless of the times and space. He will be truly missed.
May God Bless you and the family!
