Our Dear Butch, a light has gone out for me. First Ed, then you. You were a dynamic man Ed and I loved. Thank you for your life, thank you for bringing joy to others, thank you for making this world a better place. There will be a void with you gone. We loved you. Until we meet again, Butch, in That Land of No More Tears. Fly high.
