Butch and I shared many a day during the past 5 years at his ranch sitting on the back porch, watching the country side and critters. We would be rocking in his rockers, eating bologna sandwiches ( his favorite) and swapping baseball stories. We’d often talk about our families, our ailments (which we had many), our lives and just enjoying a 50 year friendship. RIP, my dear friend, you will be sorely missed.
Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.
