Thank you for going when you didn't have to.
We miss you very much.
Alice and I were back together again, just like old times.

Butch, you were a good friend. I remember our nights skating at Cypher Beach, and our rides on your BSA. And the night you stepped in at the Schellsburg Firehall dance and saved my butt! The same bravery you showed then, you also showed in the defense of your country. I salute you, my brother.
