I am going to miss you Uncle Butch. I know it's been 25 years or more, but I still loved and thought about you often. Rest In Peace. Love, Ted C
Charlie left some fantastic memories for me as when we worked together at SBC in the 70's. He always had a great laugh and joked around enough to make you laugh too. Everyone hopes to live their lives so it will bring a smile to someone………and he did. JT Virdell

We are going to miss you, Butch!! When Garry and I used to visit you guys on Alcott, there was nobody we loved to pester more than you!! You were just a duck-tailed teenager trying to catch your twin cousins (You almost did once). Since then, you grew into a fine man, a good husband, and a great father!! You were there for Jo Ellen and me when Brian died. (We will always be grateful) The Key to life is faith, and you and Kelly lived that life! You Are HOME Cuz, Rest in Peace We Love YOU! Larry & Jo Ellen
I knew Butch since forever I guess. His uncle Charlie and my uncle Jack were friends. We lived not far from each other growing up.He was one of my best friends through school. I remember his family – especially his grandmother playing 42 and laughing. My husband worked with Butch at Will Ross when he got out of the service. We were good friends back then but lost touch as the years passed. I'm saddened by his passing and my prayers are with you all. He was such a good person. Patti Headrick Hallman
We are very sorry for your loss. We will really miss Charlie. We will miss his laugh, his funny stories, our talks, and friendship. He was first a co-worker, then a partner working with children with disabilities, became good friend, a hunting partner, and a Christian brother. We were so sad that he went through so much pain and suffering. He fought on though, always kept his sense of humor, and loved to laugh and joke at our lunches with friends. He will be missed, but we are glad he is no longer in pain, and know that we will be with him again in heaven. God bless and keep Kelly and their entire family. Our love, Mike and Claudia Givens
I remember the close bond Charlie had with Butch and the love they shared with one another. Christmas Eve at their home was a highlight of the Christmas season. Know they are now together with the lord. Ruby
