Butch, thanks for always making me feel welcome in your home and family functions, and telling me I didn’t have to knock before coming in the house. You left a lot of love behind.

I am so grateful to Butch for being my big brother.  He made me feel safe and cared for.  He is the best big brother I could have had.  He loved me and cared for me like no one else.  I am going to miss him horribly.  I know he touched the lives of so many especially my husband.  Greg loved him like a brother and friend.  Thank you Butch.  We will miss you so much.  All of us Heeters.

Uncle Butch you will forever be in my heart. As a kid you always gave me a rough time about being a hillbilly, but I always knew you had my back. There were so many times I needed that swift kick in the rear and you were there to give it. You were also there when I needed someone to talk too without judgment, or yelling. So many times we had talks others knew nothing about and you were always there with honesty, caring, and a point of view that so often put me on the right track. I am lucky to have had you in my life as not only an Uncle, but as a mentor and friend. I love you and will miss you beyond belief. Fly High until God calls me home to see you again.

1st cousin, fond memories of our youth, visiting and sleep overs on the farm, with our siblings. Building forts in the hayloft, learning a lot about farm life.  Prayers to his Families and his Mother, Aunt Mary RIP 

Walt was a great neighbor to us at Trelan Nursery.  He would offer his ideas and assistance on various projects around the nursery.  He was kind and very “protective“ of our business.  He will, no doubt, be missed!  We were fortunate to have him as a neighbor and friend.  He will truly be missed!
