My condolences to Butch's family and his many friends. Butch, Harry (Williams), Dicky Dorsey and I were probably the best friends in our high school years; we did pretty everything together and that included many exciting things, like, his father's car in a ditch held back by a boulder before going into the river, upside down in Dickies Ford convertible using a fence to keep us from falling out and down a large hill...many great times were had together and I know that all of us will certainly miss Butch tremendously....I just wished that we could have been together for the 50th in SC. My sorrow and sympathy are with all of you........Steve Casto
