To the Butterweck Family,
I’m sorry to read about your husband/father’s passing. He was such a kind and generous man. And fun! He was a wonderful neighbor and the best softball coach ever. Because I lived a stones throw away, he always drove me in his bug. I often wondered how such a tall fella got into that car! I regret not ever having the opportunity to share with him how great he was to me. So I will share with you. But this comes as no surprise, as you’ve always known that.
Blessings to you all

We certainly did adore our Uncle Bob-both as little kids and even after growing up and having families of our own! He was so smart and so so funny!!! I still laugh out loud sometimes remembering his antics!
We are so sorry we couldn’t be with you in person, Aunt Joyce , Susan and Diane.
We love you and send you our deepest condolences.
Much love.......Lynne, Rob, Lexi and Steve

I worked with Bob for many years at CIGNA and we were on the same golf team. Great sense of humor and good guy all around. Sad to hear of his passing and my condolences to his family.
