I am so sad to know that Butch has passed away. He was my neighbor for a long time and I enjoyed him very much. I used to stop and visit with him when I would ride my horse by his house. I remember when Rachel was born; he was so proud and happy and brought her out to show her off. And I loved the peace sign he mowed in his yard for years. He was an extremely talented artist and always so fun to talk to. I miss seeing him. My deepest condolences to his family.

Dorothy, Mike, Randy and Rachel, Sorry to hear of your loss of Ron. He made High School so much fun! Even as I'd run across him as adults the craziness never stopped. I see him now attending the Great Rock Concert in Heaven. Thoughts and Prayers to all of you.

My sincerest sympathy to Butch's family. I shall miss his hors d'oeuvres, his jokes, and his harmonica playing at my parties, his support for our SEP class reunions and his shoulder to lean on in hard times, Butch was one of the kindest, funniest and most supportive individuals I have even known. We shall miss him dearly.

So sorry to hear of Butch's passing. He was one of the most caring compassionate people I have ever met. I enjoyed every single conversation I ever had with him, an extremely interesting man. I'm certain the number of people he touched was immeasurable. He will be so missed.
