Cathy, Mike, Tony I am truly sorry for the loss of Butch. A memory of Butch: Fifty years ago Butch, Mike, Tony and I were teenager friends hanging out in Lee Appts school yard and the corner store. Butch and I got our first & second jobs together, roofing the TN Eastman buildings then on to construction. They didn't bother with using our names at the job site. He was "Biggin" & I was "mustache". I joined the AF and never saw him after that, but I can still hear his gruff voice--hard to forget. Back then two of his favorite bands were Grand Funk Railroad and Jethro Tull. Fifty years hard to believe how fast it goes. Again, I am very sorry for your loss. Very Respectfully, Robby

Butch and Cathy were close friends of mine. I loved him so much, but he is now free from pain, resting in the arms of Jesus.. He will be extremely missed by family and all his friends. Sending all my love and prayers to Cathy and his family. Will be there soon Brother Butch..
