My deepest condolences to Judy and the family!

Butch was my coach in my first year in the little league baseball. We would practice down at Watson Field, and I think we were called the Expos. What a wonderful time it was to be coached and mentored by
him, teaching all us kids about baseball and teamwork. Butch would
keep trying to get me to try out for the hockey team. Saying "Chuck,
you would make a good defenseman". I still wish I had.

Judy, you were such a wonderful and warmhearted teacher. Easy to approach and talk to, as a youth. Thank you both for what you contrib-uted to our local community.

My deepest condolences to you and your family during this incredibly difficult time.

He wasn´t just a principal - he was a genuine leader, a mentor, and someone who made a lasting impact on everyone who walked through those school doors. I´ll never forget how he retired the same year my class graduated in 2001. At the time, I thought it was the coolest thing ever, and it made our graduating year feel even more special. Moments like that stay with you forever, and it´s a reminder of how truly memorable he made our school experience.

And you... Judy were the kind of teacher everyone loved, respected, and hoped to have. The kind of teacher who showed up, who inspired, who cared. I´m genuinely grateful that I had the honor of knowing both him and you. The impact you both had on so many of us will never be forgotten.

Please know that I´m keeping you and your entire family in my thoughts and prayers. May you find comfort in the love surrounding you and the beautiful legacy he leaves behind.

Jan and I send our deepest sympathies to you Judy and your family. It was great seeing you both at the High School reunion a few years ago. Butch played golf at York that year, which was the last time I saw
you both. Since I was in charge of the golf for the reunion, I kept hoping you guys would come back for another reunion. Stay well!
