My beloved friend Butch. I'm just learning of his passing. He was a wonderful man, someone a person could depend on for sound advice and a million laughs. Rest easy Butch. Will see you on the other side someday.
Peace and blessings to you and your family.

Butch was such a nice man and it was a pleasure to know him. I used to visit him often while I was at Providence College. He was always in good humor and we shared many a laugh. Please accept my condolences.

Butch, a classmate "63", was an incredible person who always provided me with inspiration. He dealt with severe physical disabilities his entire life yet was perpetually uplifting. The smile, he always seemed to wear, was infectious. My sincere condolences for your loss.
