I wish I could be there to comfort the family during this time; however, that is not possible. I just wanted you to know Uncle Butch could always put a smile on anyone's face even though I was scared of him when I was little. You all will be in my prayers during this time.

Oh sweet Susie, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Will always cherish the many memories Bob and I had with you two. Oh my gosh how we all laughed about the “Butt mints” Bob and Butch would joke about. You were the love of his life.

I was the inaugural president of VVA 1027 in Mishawaka IN over 10 years ago. Butch was THE integral part in coming in from Portage to South Bend to initiate this veterans group. Because of all his primary work, it is easy to say that, since then, we have helped hundreds of veterans in the South Bend area and beyond. This was due to Butch. RIP brother.
