The world has lost another great man. Butch was the first person to jump up and help someone in need. There isn't many people out there with a caring, loving heart that can fill his shoes. My deepest sympathy goes out to Chris and their children. Rest in peace my friend.

Butch was a wonderful person and will be missed by all that knew him. On many occasions, Butch towed our vehicles and more! Very kind and caring person. Deepest sympathy to his family during this difficult time.

Wow, my plans was to go see my buddy again when I got home from vacation, because I just saw him a week prior in Chicago after about 12 years of not seeing him and when I walked in the hospital room even through the trach he looked at me and said “Duuuuude” right then it was like I saw him just last week. My deepest condolences to all of the family especially my dear sister Chris love you all so much!!!!
