It was not long ago; I was writing about Rebecca and my memories of her. And now, God has decided to take you. Even though it is comforting knowing you and Rebecca are together, it is still sad to see you go. I know how much you loved your wife and family. You will be missed by them, and many others. I remember growing up with the Karpinski's and at first, when I met you, I was confused about what I should call you. Was it Earl, or was it Butch? Why didn't you just choose one name and stick to it? You chose one woman and you married her. We had fun growing up. Playing sports, watching wrestling, and just hanging out. We eventually went our own ways, but when we would see each other, we would always stop and talk about sports and family. I always enjoyed that. I don't think I have ever seen you in a bad mood. LOL... You were just a nice and friendly guy. You will be missed Butch - Earl... my friend! Robert illinsky, Jr.
