My condolences to Terry and the Quinn Family. I only just found out about Butch's passing and it came as a complete shock. Butch was my first friend when our family moved to Mayfair in the mid 60s and stayed friends thru out the 70s. We played soccer together for the Holy Terrors and many other sports on the corner of Sackett and Wellington Streets. But fondest memories were hanging in his basement with his brothers Tom and Joe and other friends (Ray Gravlin) listening to music and eating fried bologna sandwiches Mrs. Quinn made for us. Again so sorry for your loss. Rusty Fitzgerald

To the entire Quinn family the Gravlins are all so sorry for this great loss. We grew up with your family on Wellington St. and have so many crazy memories. Some of us had the great pleasure of seeing some of you a lot throughout the years and we were so lucky to have had that privilege. Butch was a great guy and one of my dear brother Ray´s best friend. We wish all of you sympathy and hope your memories will pull you through this difficult time. Butch give Ray a hug for us

So sorry to hear this. We were lucky to see Butch and Terry not long ago when they came to see Ray when he was in town. Ray passed away, and now Butch. The Gravlins send their condolences..

Butch was My Brother-in-Law and One Of The Most Amazing People I have Known that Married My Sister and Gave Her Amazing Years Together and Was a Loving Father and Hard-Working Man That Took Care of My Sister Battling Her Health Issues and Continued To Give her an Amazing Life Filled with so Much Love and Compassion.

Butch is one of my younger brothers. I can always remember his age as we are ten years apart. My favorite memories are his storytelling skills. He was so animated when he got into the stories no matter if they were true or not. Sympathy to Terry and his kids and grandkid. Gone too soon. Will miss his smile. RIP love and hugs to all. Big sister Pat
