Butch was a jack of all trades, although he retired as an industrial electrician. He was known for tinkering with mechanics, working on everyone’s cars, and figuring things out. A lover of nature, he enjoyed fishing and deer hunting, but most of all, he loved sitting on the patio with his wife, Gale, and his dog, Ruby. In his free time, he enjoyed reading Western novels. Butch was dearly loved and will be greatly missed by all who knew him.

In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made in Butch's name to the American Heart Association or the American Lung Association.
