Upon returning from serving the Air Force, he attended Rowan Cabarrus Community College to study computer science. Butch worked for many years with IBM and Lockheed Martin in the data processing center and retired while working for Fifth Third Bank's mail room as a courier. Butch was married to the late Betty Simpson for 42 years.
