"Betty,and kids i am sorry for your loss, Butch was well liked.

"Butch & I were class mates from the seventh grade thru the eleventh. We lived within a quarter mile of each other & rode the same school bus. I always thought the world of Butch. We had some of the best of times. Butch had to do a book report before the class & he was very nervous. I sat up front & held the book he had read, that way he could see the title & author. That helped him to get started with the oral report.My sincerest condolences, Brenda
