    I will always miss Butch’s ornery laugh! Now all of those questions he had for so many years will be answered by those who know. As an only child, I know he is now in heaven with another only child – his cousin and my mom – Connie Grace.

    Love to you Marsha, Kenna and Wendy. God bless you all.
