My thoughts are with all of you at this time of great loss.
Butch was a wonderful man who I respected and looked up to. He was the patriarch of a family with strong morals and convictions. I feel fortunate to have known him.
Although I have not been around much, please know that I support you and will help in any way that I can to get you through these troubled times.

In My Pocket
I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.
My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.
They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.
Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.
But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.
