I will always remember the talks I had with Butch. He was so positive and enthusiastic and always knew what to say to make any situation better. His smiling face will remain in my memory.

You are in my prayers. Butch was the best brother God could have chosen for me. I am blessed for having him in my life. These last few years have taught me that there was nothing we could not overcome as love of family is strength. There is a void that can never be filled but we will be together again someday and this will carry me.

Sandy, Sean, Ryan and Troy,
Butch was much like brother to me growing up and there's a big hole in my heart now that he is no longer with us. The way he touched each of our lives will endure forever. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Sandy, Sean, Ryan and Troy,
So sorry to hear of your loss. Butch was a Phi Kappa Tau '74 fraternity brother of mine at OSU. He always gave me good advice and support.

Although we didn't socialize much, I considered Butch one of my best friends. I always treasured my time with him. There has never been, or will there be, a better human being. My heart is broken. All of my love and prayers to Sandy and their children.

"Butch", my friend and brother, you are sorely missed in our coming days, but the 1000 memories are forever. The only comfort for our sadness is the joy we experienced in having you with us. Many prayers are with Sandy, Sean, Ryan and Troy. "...We will meet again in heaven sure..."
