I am so sorry to hear about Butch. He was the most kind and genuine man I have ever met. The Heavens are smiling to have received such an Angel. I knew him from the Teamster's Local 100 and no one can compare with his compassion and understanding. A true gentleman. You will be missed my friend.

I am truly at a lost for words!! I received a text message last night from Mrs. Rita informing me of Butch's passing and my heart felt like a heavy weight had been attached!! I first met Butch after I became a union steward for Teamsters Local 100 representing First Student and I found him to be very kind,honest, and knowledgeable about any and everything Union!! He would speak softly and respectfully when dealing with issues where First Student drivers felt they were wronged, but he would make sure that management knew that that demeanor didn't mean that you would push him around or pull the wool over his eyes. He didn't use profanity and if he felt that he was being pushed in that direction he would tell me "Crystal cover your ears!!" I always respected that although he was the President of Teamsters, he would come down to represent the drivers/monitors himself when I knew he didn't have to!! He was like a father figure in my eyes and with me he had that respect!! He loved Mrs. Rita and he loved his family and all you had to do was talk to him and you knew that!!
Butch will be missed very much, Thank You for helping me to grow as a Stewardess!!
I'm praying for peace and comfort for the family!!!
Rest In Heaven Butch!!
