From our family to each and every one of you ~ thank you for the support you've shown to a group that meant so much to Butch (Bruce). Nick gave me permission to share this photo - a beautiful send off to a man who loved his family and country and lived his life with honor and integrity ~ he rests now in the arms of angels. I miss you so much.
