James "Jimmy" Butova

Jimmy was born on Sept. 19, 1960 in Norwich, CT to Peter and Theresa (Nye) Butova. He graduated from Montville High School in 1978 and worked for the former Thermos Co., United Nuclear, Pfizer and finally found his niche for the past 23 years at P&H Construction where he worked until his illness.

He was a fun-loving guy who enjoyed fishing at Race Point Beach in Provincetown, MA, and listening to classic rock from the 70’s. Many summers were spent driving dune buggies with his father and brother on the Cape and everyone will remember his ’66 Vette. He was an avid Red Sox and New York Giants fan. Jimmy always made himself available to family, friends or anyone who needed his helping hand.

Jimmy is survived by his mother, Theresa “Topsy” Butova, sister-in-law, Martha Butova and his beloved nephew, Christopher Butova. He was predeceased by both his father and brother Peter H. Butova in 1995.

A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at St. John the Evangelist Church on Maple Av., Uncasville, CT on Saturday, April 25th at 1pm. Burial will be private at the convenience of the family. Visitation will be held at the Montville Funeral home of Church & Allen, 53 Norwich-New London Tnpk., Uncasville from 11:30am to 12:30pm prior to the mass.

The family extends a special thanks to Dr. Slater, the staff at E.C.H.O., the nursing staff of A-2 at Backus Hospital, Sister Rita, and the wonderful caregivers at Harrington Court in Colchester.
