I remember Butch as being lots of fun and a really nice guy. I remember high school parties at his house.

I was sad to hear of Butch's passing. Butch and I go back to Southern in the late 60's. Through mutual friends on the Coast we stayed in touch over the years. I am attaching a pic from a reunion in 1988. Our condolences to the family.

I was sad to hear the news of Butch's passing. Butch and I were friends at Southern back in the late 60's. Butch was one of the first people to visit my wife and I in Dallas, Tx after we were married. Kept up with Butch over the years with our joint friends on the Coast. Our condolences to the family!

I remember Butch from Clinton school. Butch was always funny and fun to be with. I see everyone has already mentioned the parties out at his house. Our class was together so long, many of us for the whole 12 years, that we were like family. We are now missing another part of our Clinton family. I am so sorry for your loss.
