Judy and I extend our deepest sympathy to Diane, Matt & Lauren, and Paul on the death of Butch.

In recent years, illness has been a long and difficult journey for Butch, and now he is at rest. Having received those years of loving care from his family, he is now in a position to watch over and care for them.

Eternal rest grant unto Butch, O Lord.
And may he shine in the Perpetual Light of Jesus, Our Lord and Savior at the Heavenly Feast.
May he rest in peace.
And may Butch watch over and guide his family as they continue on their own journey to that same Heavenly Feast.
Amen.

What a great guy Butch was! Been his friend since elementary school and was our Best Man at our wedding. God does not make them any better than Butch. We will cherish our terrific memories we shared. Our deepest sympathy to Diane, his wife and best friend. Also our sympathy to Mattie, Paul and all the other family. We will miss Butch dearly.

The world won't be the same without Butch. He has been our very good friend since elementary school! What a guy -- delightful and dependable as well as smart and a terrific friend. He was our Best Man in our wedding. Deeply regret we cannot be there with you but we will be there in spirit and our prayers for Diane and the family are also coming. Butch does not need any prayers -- he's already in heaven. Our deepest sorrow. Tim & Marie
