To the Butter family, I am so sorry for your loss. Your dad, husband,and pap was my shop teacher at Carlynton, I also went to school with Rachel. One memory I have of Mr. Butter was that he always called you by your birth name, said that's your given name, its on your birth certificate...drove me crazy, because I don't like my name. I'll always remember him. Its never easy to say good-bye to a loved one, he'll always be with you and you will notice little things along your path of life that will remind you of him. I hope they give you comfort.
Best Regards,
Peggi Pennington(Pittinaro)

I have so many memories from shop class to drivers ed. I will always remember him telling me Birds of a feather flock together during a driving session. You are in my thoughts & prayers during this difficult time.

Dear Mrs. Butter and Family:
Mr. Butter was my shop teacher and over the years I have recalled a song that he used to begin singing out of nowhere: "If I had a nickel, I'll tell you what I'd do. I'd spend it all on candy..." He was a great teacher! I will offer a Mass for his peace and rest. You have my sincere sympathy!
Sincerely,
Fr. Jim

To the Butter/Blank Families, I am so sorry for the loss of your Dad. He was such a good person and was always a sweet man. I was glad to have him as a teacher and also was glad to have known him as a father and grandfather in the short time I was part of your lives. Prayers to you all ❤
