Mrs Shumaker, I am the police officer that had a chance to pray with you on the day your husband was brought into the Emergency Room. I'm very sorry for your loss, but also happy that he knew our Lord and is with him in paradise. I appreciate your allowing me to be a part of your life that day. Also just to let you know my wife is from Monroe, N,C, what a small world. In God We Trust!

I remember Butch fondly from Davidson years, and particularly the Davidson football team, on which we both played. My thoughts and prayers are with the family during this difficult time.

Our condolances to the family of  William Milton Shumaker.  After knowing "Butch" 65 years William doesn't sound like my childhood playmate, classmate and friend. Memories bring happy times and I know all of you will not let grief linger.  
 He's with our Savior and waiting for us.

Dear Ann, Liz, Amanda, Sarah and family.  You are all in our thoughts and prayers.  It is comforting to know that Our Father is with us always with loving arms wrapping all of you up in His embrace.  You are surrounded by angel thoughts of Love and Peace.  Butch is with His father in Glory and we rejoice over a life well lived, a wonderful husband and father.  
With Love,
Ric, Lauren, Cara, & Mary

Although it has been 50 years, I fondly recall Butch as one I appreciated as a Davidson classmate as one who perhaps could be called a "gentle giant," a big man with a big heart and a caring spirit. On behalf of Butch's college class, blessings and peace to you especially in these hours when you celebrate glad memories even through the pain of your loss.   -- John Goodman, Class Secretary, Davidson Class of '62

Few things can compare with a true, loyal, friend.  Butch personified "love of God and love of neighbor.  We will miss our friend but celebrate the life he enriched for us all. (Greensboro, NC)

Butch was always delightfully involved with others. We mourn the loss and pray that you are comforted by his many gifts to others.

May God bless you and your family during this most difficult time.  Please know the Butch is now enjoying the peace and comfort that he so richly deserves.

That's my beautiful "adopted" Daddy!  He may not have wanted me, but he got me and I thank God for him!  I cannot put into words what I think of this man and the inspiration he has been to me and the blessing that he and his family have been to me and mine!  Daddy, I pray that I raise my boys to be even half the husband, father and friend that you have always been!  I love you so and I will forever keep my promise to you!
