Butch was a good and faithful servant of God, his family, church and community. He was, and continues to be, an example and inspiration of a life well-lived, a deep faith that shaped his life, and displayed peace, courage and resilience during his recent battle with lung disease.

Butch walked hand-in-hand with Peg, his wife of 57 years, supporting and loving one another all along the way.
