God bless,Butch. It was great to be your cousin and thanks for teaching me brevity in life.

Cousin Arthur & Shirley

Butch was a genuine person and one of the happiest people I've ever come to know. His quick sense of humor and great smile was infectious to others, and will truly be missed. A bright light has certainly gone out much too soon. God Bless him as well as his family.

I just learned of Butch's passing last night! My condolences to his family. I worked with him at the Lawrence PO...and he was always making everyone laugh with his jokes and Donald Duck imitations! I drove him into work a few times and really got to know him through these short trips at 4AM. A truly nice guy! He will surely be missed!

Dear Bob, We are so sorry to hear of your brother's passing. Also the loss of your mother. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.Take care of yourself. Love, Judi and Frank Mckenna

Dear Bob and Family,
I had the great pleasure of your Brother's company during his daily visit's to D'Youville. He was the nicest person I have ever met. He was so devoted to his Mom, and He & I became friend's while my Mom was a resident too. I will miss my talks with Bill, but most of all I will miss his wonderful smile and his always, sunny, personality.
God Bless you all in this trying time.
Sincerely,

Dear Bob and family:

Please accept my deepest sympathy at the lost of such a terrific guy. Butch and I along with my late husband Joe were great friends. I have fond memories of riding to work with Butch when we both worked at Raytheon in Bedford. He was living with your memere on Salem Street at that time. He was a funny and jovial person. Everyone who knew him loved him. When he visited with us, he and Joe would reminisce about the Boys Club days, and the LHS days too. I...

We are all very saddened to hear about Bill’s passing, he will be truly missed by all those who knew him. Bill was one of the kindest and most genuine people I have ever met, with a smile on his face, you know he was sincerely happy to see you. Bill was our neighbor for 4 years; he was the kind of person that would do anything for anyone, kind hearted to all who he met, this is a great loss to the whole world, he was taken much to soon.

So very sad to hear of Butch's passing. A great man, everyone loved. My sympathy to his family.

What can I say.. Bill was one of the nicest, and finest man I knew. I was so shocked and deeply saddening to hear about his passing. We always talked about Frye Island as I do go there to visit family. Bill was so good to his mom, and all of us at Dyouville! He will be greatly missed by all.
With Deepest Sympathy
