Here's to Butch. Had fond memories of you and your family. The Logan's,O'Donnell's and Brophy clans will always be a part of my life. Will always remember the trip Rosemarie took us on to the Bronx Zoo when we were kids. Still have a picture from that. Also recall your love for horeback riding as a young fellow. Sorry we could not have seen each other more over the years. Never knew you served in the army like George, Billy, Clayton and myself. Your second cousin. Howard (Skip) Bartholf

Michele,
One of my earliest childhood memories is when your Dad took you, Jimmy and I to Leonia Park to have a pony ride. We were probably only 8 years old, but I remember you and I laughing hysterically when the ponies started to trot along. Hold onto the good memories to get you through this hard time. Love you!

My thoughts are with all of you. Uncle Butch had a great sense of humor and I especially enjoyed visiting him while I had a case at the Bergen County courthouse. He always had a kiss and smile for me to make my day better!!
