You are now called off from labor. You are now relieved from your post. A job well done fellow veteran and mason. America thanks you for your service to our country in the defense of freedom and democracy. The final battle is now over and peace has been restored. The final bugle has sounded and taps is about to sound ending a successful career as a nation´s defender. Farewell fellow veteran and mason. A Navy Vietnam Veteran.

I lived at 175 Blackman Street in W-B, growing up and spent almost every day at Peters Ice Cream. Butch found me the car of my dreams, a 1967 Cougar, through Marv Carey. He was a very friendly and happy person and a sweet man.
My sincere sympathy for his family and friends who certainly will miss him very much.
