Chuck and family,
Ron and I are so terribly sorry to hear about the passing of your brother, Butch.
Loosing someone you love, I believe, is the hardest thing we will ever deal with in life.
And the sudden, unexpected ones are the most difficult by far!
The deeper the love, the deeper the grief. I know Chuck how much you cared about him and loved him. I am sure Butch knew it too.
The wonderful thing about family is that everyone of you are woven into the fabric of each other’s hearts and souls, for all eternity. Love never dies …
Our deepest condolences to you all. We love you ♥️
Mary Ann, Ed, Linda May, Alice, Robin & Chuck, My mom and I are so sorry to her about our cousin Butch Jr. ‘s passing. May God give you all peace and strength in your time of need. My heart is sadden and heavy today. Butch Jr. was always so friendly, kind and caring. He always joked about getting together to play cards. I am sure he is playing Euchre now with your Mom, Dad and Aunt Beatty in heaven. Sending prayers, hugs and kisses….Maria Kraska & Mary Yvonne Alampi
I’m so very sorry that Butch has left us. I’ve lived next to Butch for over 20 years and couldn’t have asked for a better neighbor. I will miss him deeply. I already do. There were many days and nights chatting outside about so many subjects. How he loved his cars! And his Jasper. So many cat stories were shared between us. A good man gone too soon. My deepest sympathies to his surviving family and friends. May you soon find peace.
I was Butch’s next door neighbor for 27 years, and hang-out buds at least twice a week for over 20 of it.
Butch would do anything for anyone who asked.
Although I hate asking anyone for anything, there were several times I had to over the years, and Butch was there for help.
We had dozens of backyard fires, always doing our
favorite thing which was having a few beers
while looking at stars, planes, satellites, and
always both hoping for some UFO action. We often
said we wanted to be taken away, get out of here,
and go for a ride, someplace fun.
Mostly we’d hang in his kitchen. Other than Moonshiners,
he knew I don’t care about TV. So we’d stand there talking
and listening to music on his cd player. He’d give me lists over the years, and I’d make him the cd’s, and I’d always manage to get us laughing to the point of not being able to talk.
We also thought and believed certain things about aspects
of life, very similarly.
Either one of us would call each other after dinner time when
we wanted to hang out. We’d both say the same thing every time:
“yep”. “yep”. we hang up, then I wander over as he called it, walk in
and say “Howdy”! After I got a “Howdy”! back, we commenced doing our
thing. Every winter, I’d kid him about why haven’t you dug me a tunnel from my kitchen to his yet?
We’d joke around by talking redneck, about Moonshiners show,
wishing we could see a UFO or Bigfoot. We loved talking like that.
We’d talk sarcastic often, goofing on each other for laughs.
I’ve told Butch several times that I loved him like the big brother
I never had. I’m glad I did.
I miss him. Of course.
I feel even more lost now.
A good person, I always wished for better for him.
My beliefs don’t include any after-life, but I hope I’m wrong; for me, for all of us, and for Butch who deserves better than was happening or not happening down here for him.
I’m sorry for his family.
Unable to attend the service, I will be at the gathering at the park.
Peace to my brother.
