Butch, I know you are strong and walking on a cloud somewhere with Connie. You said God wasn’t ready for you. Look out now. You never ever let on to me the pain and problems your illness caused you. You always thought of people who were needing care and prayed for them. Well your time on this rock , you’ve made many many friends. Everyone you meet has to have a good memory of the time they met you. I had good the fortune of being a good friend of Connie’s brother. And Watching as you and Connie married. What love you two have for each other! Kim and I shared many fun times with you while you lived in Moundsville. I hated to see you move but the people of Flowery Branch loved it!! Your friends from work really were lucky. You’re well liked. The time Kim and I came down, I wanted to bring you and Connie back but you’re home was made. The Butch cave and the old Honda you restored. The deck and grill pool area. The bars and lake the work and friends. Everyone is with heavy heart’s. I do. I’m sad. But then the Blessing God gives me to know your not troubled any longer gives me some peace. After catching my breath and goose bumps! Love you Brother Butch. Kiss Connie for me. Tell all the family I said hello in Heaven. And to Butch’s family —- PRAYERS for strength and peace. Share more love now! Bill Yurisko.

Goodbye my buddy you are truly going to be missed. I remember walking into your house to care for you and you made me feel right at home. Your personality was amazing, and your jokes made my day. You was my brother and I was your Sis!! Blood don’t make you family was our saying and that was so true. I’m going to miss your love for music you always had it playing when I walked into your house or a good movie and sports.. Butch no matter how much pain you where in you kept on pushing through that’s what I found so amazing about you. Take you rest Bro and I know you are up there smiling down with the love of you life Connie and the woman who gave you life your mom. No more pain no more suffering and I find comfort in that. Until we meet again my friend. My deepest condolences to your family and friends.
