I was so glad to see your Dad when we moved back to Robbins, Barry and he shared many conversations over gardening and taking care of grapes. We have missed him and are sorry for your grief and yet we know Butler is in heaven with Lois and we will see him again because he loved the Lord and so do we. Kay Lois and Myra, Annette and I will always remember our childhood as a wonderful blessing. What a great neighborhood of children and parents who helped each other. Our prayers are with you.

Kay, Myra and family,
Kim and I are grieved for you all in your loss of Mr. Butler. Such a great man with concern for all he met. I enjoyed our meetings as I always came away encouraged by his wisdom, wit and evident concern for me. I admired his commitment to church, family and especially Mrs. Butler in her sickness. He will be missed. May God cradle you all in His loving arms in your grief now and in the days to come. We love you. Kim and Bruce Williams
