Dear Ann and Family,
As this sad day approaches, do know we remember. Butch lived a life full of goodness; he knew he was loved by you, Ann, your children, family, and so many more. And although we are miles away, rich memories of him, his gentle manner, and unconditional love, live with us.
The change of seasons reminds us of a life well-lived and forever remembered.
Thinking of you with love.

dear fox family,
i heard about john`s passing belatedly and
i certainly regret that. my best wishes and prayers are for you,the family.
i worked for a number of years with john at
DeSoto and sherwin williams and i considered
it such a privilege. john (at least at work)
was a rather quiet man but he had a huge
infectious laugh that always cracked me up.
i found it interesting that he was referred
to as "butch" by the family. we at the plant
referred to john as "Big Dad".
i remember when after i first started working at DeSoto when i turned 20 and
was a little awed by the whole experience,
and Big Dad took me under his wing and
explained things to me. kinda gave me the
lay of the land so to speak. it was huge to me that he took time for a young and some
times rattled kid and help him to adapt.
he`d always tell me it will be all right
and to just hang in there.
he wasn`t the type of guy that would
ramble on and talk to just hear himself
speak like some do. rather, john would
measure his words and because of that,
he was respected and listened to by
many. and his opinion on things mattered.
i missed john greatly when he retired
from sherwin williams. he left a huge hole
in my opinion. but he needed to move on
because i could very plainly see the toll
that his employment had taken on him.it
almost made me cry when i`d see him struggle
up the stairs to his work station. but,
as was john`s way, i never heard him
complain.
i`m sure i`ll think of him every now and
again and when i`m around former employees
that knew him, his name will come up.
rest in peace my good friend.i love
you Big Dad.
