I am so glad that I got a chance to visit with Butch this June. I have so many fond memories with him. From my first travels on an airplane to sitting in his hot tub catching snowflakes in our mouths. I will miss him. He was a great cousin and a good friend. Scott

Sylvia, we are so sorry for you loss.

Butch was one of our favorite nephews. We have many fond memories with him. We will never forget that he came out to MN with us when we moved, spent the summer and helped us get settled. He would help clear the bats out of the bedrooms so the kids could sleep. It was one of his many talents.

He was always a great help and we will miss him.

Love Doris and Eldon

I remember a great 4th of July a year ago, good friends, good food and good times. Bruce, Tom , Hop and I went to the beach to see the out of control fireworks…male bonding at its best. Even though Bruce couldn’t come to the beach this year he was in our thoughts and always in our prayers.

Butch was my oldest Seattle cousin and for a time I was the youngest. I remember Butch as a teen in his white t-shirts and jeans. I thought he was very cool as I looked on from a distance. Probably my best memories were playing baseball out at The Lake. So glad I had an opportunity to see him a few weeks ago. Love to all and see you Saturday.

The last time we saw Bruce was at a graduation. He talked about how very proud he was of his grandchildren. You could tell by his smile how much he loved his family. We are so sorry for your loss. With Sympathy, Paula & Dan
