Rest in peace, Butch. You were always so kind and helpful to my
girls (R & R Cannon) in their successful fitness and body building endeavors. I don't know if the picture is still on the wall, but he had one of their pictures up for quite a while showing how beauty and fitness/muscles can be a perfect blend. Sincerest condolences to the family.
