Not sure what to say?

05/13/20: Hello Noel, I just received a remembrance notice from Legacy.com regarding your dad. I hardly knew the man but the notice is nice because it reminded me of you. After all these years I hope this finds you in good health and good spirits. Play and Players forever. Yay! Thanks, Noel, it's been good to know you. Peace and love. Ray

To Noel, and family. I would like to express my sincere condolences on the death of your father. At 97 it would be hard to argue that he had a good run. A long, enviable, life for sure. I only met him for a brief moment in time but I'll bet he would want you to celebrate his life and not mourn his passing. "A Time for Everything..." Ecclesiastes 3:1-15. Peace. Raymond T. Hathaway

I was Keen Butcher's secretary starting in 1967. He was so good to me and gave me a bridal shower when I became engaged in 1968. I was so sorry to leave his employ but my husband was transferred to GE in Phoenix, AZ. Keen Butcher came to my wedding with his wife at the Yeadon Presbyterian Church. He was such a loving man. His love and care for all his children -- well, you just don't come across a man like him. Rest in peace, dear precious soul. God will be so happy to welcome you to...

My thoughts and prayers are with entire family on the loss of a kind man, including my dear friend Mark and his brothers, Keen and Nick. A donation has been sent to the Madeleine and WW Keen Butcher History Institution. Avec mes condoléances, Yolanda Robins-McCafferty

Keen was a wonderful son, husband, brother, father, grandfather, patriot, friend and in my case Godfather.
