William Butler Obituary
William was the cherished husband of Linda, with whom he shared 59 wonderful years of marriage. Together they built a lifetime of memories filled with laughter, dedication, and unwavering companionship.
William was a proud father to Matthew and his wife Jackie, and to his late son Michael, whose memory he always carried close to his heart.
His greatest joy came from his role as a grandfather, lovingly known as "Grandpa" to Julia and Jack, who brought him endless happiness and pride.
He will be remembered for his kindness, wisdom, and quiet strength, as well as the love he poured into his family and friends. Mostly he'll be remembered for his sharp wit. Bill was always ready with a story, to light your cigar, or to refill your drink. He will be missed by all who were fortunate enough to have known him.
