There were 3 of us who met each other when we were 3 years old here at Waldheim Park. Butch, who was born in Decemeber of 1952,Don Myer,who was born in May of 1953 and myself,Keith Sneddon, who was born in February of 1953. We met in the Summer of 1956 and were pretty much inseperable during those great Summer months. The memories I have of both Butch and Don are memories that I tell everyone about. Don passed away 3 years ago before he reached 50. I ran into Butch about 10 years ago when he was in town to watch Jason play B-Ball. He and I were in an establishment(I'll say no more than that) and I saw him and knew who he was after he smiled. I walked up to him and asked if his name was Paul Esterly. He said yes and I said Butch and he knew who I was. I'll tell you it was like we never left. We both got thrown back to our Summers here at Waldheim. He was up here a couple of years ago and stopped in to to see my Mom. I am truly sorry that I wasn't here to see him.He understood as I was at a softball tournament.(He was a great 3rd base)

As you go through this time of grief,know that a friend of Butch's for 50 years is truly going to miss Butch and the memories he and I had will be talked about and remembered until the day I go to the other side.

If, in your grief or after you'd like to get in touch and talk about Butch,please feel free to contact me.

Butch was a good friend and even though we hadn't seen each other he was in my thoughts and memories.

My condolences and prayers are with you at this time.

Sincerely,

D.Keith Sneddon

Dear Family and Friends,

I want to send my condolences and my sympathy for you. I know there are no words that will ease your pain or relieve your feelings of loss at this time. My heart goes out to you.

Butch is a very special person to me and I am sure that many feel the way I do. We are all better for knowing him and we all will lose a part of ourselves now that he is gone.

In a lifetime, I only knew Butch in moments. A visit with my family here and there, now and again, but cherished so much by all of us. He is my mother's sister's son. He came into our large family and blended right in, he was never a stranger.

We all adore Butch and value the time we had with him. It is so hard to come to grips with the fact that we will not have the opportunity to see him again here on earth. But I have to believe that one day I will see him again and he will be with all the others who have passed before him, those who loved him so much.

I hope the heartbreak that you feel today will soon be replaced with the joyous memories that you shared with this husband, this father, this friend, this wonderful person. He will be missed by so many.

God Bless You,
