Anne, Its been a long time since I saw you and Butch...the 25th or 30th reunion. I have a lot of memories of Butch but the one that stands out is simply giving him a ride home one day when we were high school. All the best to you and your family.

Ann, Rusty, Janee', LeeAnn & Caroline -- I've know you all for so many years that I feel you are family!! Meeting and working with Butch at Southern Wood Piedmont gave me the opportunity to meet each of you and to share many of your childhood years with you. Although many miles and sometimes years separated us, when we reunited, we always just picked up where we left off and it seemed as if we had never been apart. That's true friendship!
Butch was a dear friend to me and someone who's memory will always be with me...he was a good man, a loving father and husband and someone who touched my life through his perspective on life, his humor, his kindness and his genuine outlook on life. He loved his family, he loved nature and seemed content as long as he could hunt and fish and be with friends. The simplicity in which he lived his life was an inspiration to me. Butch and Ann seem to always know the important things in life! My life has been blessed by each of you. I'll miss Butch very much but I know he is in a better place, feeling no pain. Although his life was short in years, he lived his life to the fullest, he had a wonderful family and he was loved deeply by so many people. I am proud to have known him and to have learned from him (he knew that OSHA stuff!!)
May God bless each of you and give you strength. I love you all, Donna

Thank you to everyone. My Dad was a great man and loved each and everyone of you. He will be greatly missed but only for a short while and then we'll be together again. He could not have been a better Daddy to me, my sisters and brother. My kids truly miss their Daddy Butch! We all loved him like crazy. I have prayed that I would find someone that would love and treat me as well as he treated my mother. I use to pick on my parents about how cheesy their relationship was and how they were both still discustingly in love with each other after such a looong time, now I just pray that 34 years from now I am still that discustingly in love with my future husband and we can make our kids sick like they did me! The great thing is that my Dad knew how much he was loved and was showered with that everyday by everyone. I could go on forever praising my Daddy. Thanks again for all the sweet things everyone has done. We Love you guys, Love LeeAnn

Please accept our deepest sympathy in your loss with the passing of Butch. We have been out of touch for several years, after leaving Savannah, but Butch was a dear friend from our days with Stone Container. We are saddened by this loss, but share with you in many fond memories of days gone by. God bless you and strengthen you during this difficult time.

I can remember growing up in the neighbor hood. I spent many nights at you all's house. I can remember Mr. Butch on the side lines of me and Caroline's games and the trip to fernandina Beach and Dover's Bluff the hunting club. I will always remember him telling me and Caroline to give the three wheeler a rest and right after that I ran my self over. It's been so many years since I have seen him. To find out this really breaks my heart. After talking to Caroline she reassured me he is no longer suffering. My prayers are with you all. My family and I were devastated to hear of your loss. Please know that Mr. Butch and you all are and will always be in our prayers.

Dear Ann,
It has been so many years since I have seen either you or Eugene(that's how I last remember him). My strongest memories were playing football in August of 1965 and almost staying at GHS for my senior year. Eugene was strong, tough but one of the nicest, kindest, and funniest of that stinky group. I know you will miss him. My thoughts and prayers are with you both.

I didn't know you guys long but I will never forget you and Mr. Branch. Through your lost, I've come to re-evaluate my life and its meaning. I will keep you in my prayers and I hope you do the same.

Ann and Family - Butch will be missed by all that his life touched. He was a dear friend to many of us and his chearful smile will be sorely missed. I will personally miss him since he and I have shared so many good times together. He was such a devoted family man and he loved nothing more than you and his children. May God bless you and the children during this difficult times.

My prayers are with Butch's family. I worked with Butch for at least the past 4.5 years at Smurfit. He was a very sweet man, and I could tell from my conversations with him he loved his family dearly. God bless you all. He will be missed here on Earth, but may it comfort you to know that we can all meet him again in heaven. What a glorious reunion that will be! He is suffering no more!

I had the pleasure of working with Butch at the Papermill and once I enjoyed his company on a fishing trip. He will truly be missed.
