Dr. T.J. Butterfield and Family,
My deepest sympathies with the loss of Charlie. I have alot of fond memories of him as well as most of your family that I have known for so many years. I have always been in awe of the tight-knit love and close family ties that Charlie showed for his family. To talk to him for seconds and you would know how very much he loved all of his family (sons, daughter-in laws, and especially grandchildren). When he would sneak in the door at the animal hospital, he just seemed to brighten up the place, often with a laugh or a joke - and of course Al usually in tow. Although it has been a few years since I have seen Charlie, Dr. Butterfield, and Sharon, I am forever grateful for taking care of him as a patient after I became a nurse. You all are in my thoughts, prayers, and have my deepest sympathy.
