So sorry to hear of Butch´s passing. I was a secretary at Benny Dover (retired 22 years ago) when he was custodian. He always had a warm smile and asked how everything was. I knew if I needed something I could count on him. He was a great all-around guy. i´ll keep you all in my prayers.

Your father and/or uncle was wonderful person, he will always be remembered for his kindness and compassion.
He was part of the reason that the "Surfers drum & bugle corp" rebirth itself in NL again.
He was truly NL finest.
