It's hard to believe Butch has been gone a year.  He was a swell guy, and we all miss seeing him at the office.  My condolences again to the family, and especially Danielle.  She was a sweet and charming addition to our office, and I hope that we hear from her some day.  Sending healing energy

It was such a privilege to know and work with Butch for years in my practice.  We had the great pleasure of working with his delightful daughter, Danielle, after she graduated from her hygiene program.  Butch always gladly gave us our “Danielle” updates when he came in, telling us all about her children and Guam and how she was enjoying life.  He was such a fun guy to talk to, always had a smile on his face, and always got me to laugh about something.  As dads of adult children, we loved to talk about grandchildren and how our children made us proud every day.  My hygienist, Judy, and all our staff were so saddened to learn of his passing.  He was taken from so many who loved him too soon.  I would respectfully ask Danielle to contact us, since I don’t have any kind of mailing address for her.  The pandemic is not over, and maybe will never end, and has taken away the important events like memorial services from us.  Since I felt I could not attend his memorial, I hope that future communication is still possible.    We send healing energy and love to all of his friends and family ☯️

Words seem inadequate to express the sadness we feel about Butch's untimely passing...Please accept our most heartfelt sympathies for your loss…our thoughts and prayers are with Linda, Heather, Danielle, Noelle and Butch's family during this difficult time. 

"We know for certain that we never lose the people we love, even to death...They continue to participate in every act, thought and decision we make...They leave an indelible imprint in our memories...We find comfort in knowing that our lives have been enriched by having shared their love." 

My favorite memory with you and Butch is sharing a pew at Church...Mama, Pop, Phil, myself, Noelle, Linda and Butch...the giggles that we shared when Butch said "the ceiling may come down!"...God Bless you all

Butch was always like a second father to me, I would spend whole weeks or two weeks straight over at their house and noelle, linda, and butch always made me feel like apart of the family. He came off like a tough cookie but he had such a big heart and goofy personality and that's how he will be remembered by me, my love and condolences always 

I  was very sad to hear of Butch's passing.   All of the employees at Chesapeake Machine Works send our thoughts and prayers to the family.   Butch was a bright light in this world.  He was kind, thoughtful and so full of life.  His smile and easy-going personality were his calling card.  He will be missed dearly!

Go rest high on that mountain Butch.  Your work on Earth is done.  Until we see you again, friend. 

I really  enjoyed working with him at the Portsmouth Gwaltney Plant he was a hard working family man. I thought he was one of the best Mechanical Tech I work with!
One thing that I couldn't understand he would wear a white tee shirt to work everyday. Winter fall spring summer it didn't manner. He told me one day that he didn't own a coat. I told him I would buy you a coat he said no. 
I'm sorry about your lost!
God bless you all!


I remember when our family moved on Orillia Rd. You were the first person to welcome us on the block.  You have been a great friend to us. We love you. 

“Slow down honey, this is one of the happiest days of my life”

“Oh man Dad, now I’m crying” 

Any man  can become a father, but you CHOSE to be my Dad. I love you, always and forever. 

Sorry to hear of your family's loss. May Butch rest in peace and you find comfort and strength in family and friends.

Butch was an amazing stand up guy! My prayers are with you Linda, Danielle, Heather & Noelle. Many prayers for you during this time. Love to you all. 

Linny 
I'm so sorry for your loss. I'm praying 🙏 for you

We were so sorry to hear of your passing away. We enjoyed our camping trip so much and the washer games were so much fun.
Rest In Peace Butch

Butch was a man of honor and loyalty. His devotion to his family was unmeasurable. I will miss our conversations and listening to your stories. I'm sending prayers and solace to the family. 

I'm was so saddened to hear of Butches passing and offer my prayers and condolences to your family during these difficult times.
I worked closely with Butch over the past 6-7 years and considered him a loyal friend. I spoke with Butch daily and always admired his dedication and work ethic, I also knew that he loved and cared for his family very much. Butch was one of the "good guys" that you meet in life and I can honestly say I enjoyed our time working side by side even under difficult circumstances. I will miss seeing him but will remember his smile and laugh as he brought joy to our office and my life personally.
