Butch, my second father, will be missed greatly.  He was such a blessing to my parents, always helping in every fashion.  He was always there for my dad till the very end.  I always appreciated him, Ronnie, and Tiff taking me under their wing and showing me the right way to be a person.  They are the main reason I am the person I am today.  He is in a much better place, with no suffering, able to watch every hockey game with my dad upstairs.  I loved him greatly, and will honor him always.  For the Tillmans, and the entire family, please know I am here for you guys with anything you may need at any time!  Love all of you, love and miss you Butch.  Thank you for everything.  God rec'd a good one!!!!!!!

Andrea, Ron and Tiff,

Take comfort in knowing that "Butch" is in a happier place free from all pain and suffering. I know he and Lew already are arguing about the Phillies and Eagles. Lou said it all my friends.  God Bless and keep Butch close to His heart.

Andree, Tiff, Ronnie,

I can not begin to express by sorrow felt when I received word of Butch's, your dads passing. The time I spent with all of you when I was visiting over on Lafayette has always been held dear in my thoughts, even after 28 years, I'm not so sure Ronnie will remember me so well, he might. But I know Tiff will.  I still remember the time spent together. Andree .. remember the deer head that was on the wall for years? I am so sorry to hear of your loss, but I know that Butch is in a much better place. Tiff and Ronnie, I know you dad loved you guys and nothing will ever take that away. Hold onto the memories, you will charish them forever. With Gods Love, Deb

DAD,

Though we thought we prepared and were somewhat ready for this time. I wasn't. Not even a little. The thought of not seeing you coming down the road to visit us tears me apart. Even the past couple of years at all of the parties i expected and looked for you to come down the road. Not only were you my dad you were my very best friend, the emptiness left will never be filled and actually i don't think i want it to be. You gave me so much love and kindness and did so much more than you needed to but thats who you were. Always gave and never asked, I am going to miss you so much that i cry everytime i think about you and all the good times we should still be having. there was no reason for you to have that horrible disease and it wasn't right for you to suffer and struggle the way you did. It killed me seeing that. I love you dad so many people did and do. I promise you that i will share stories with the girls everyday so their childrens children will know about you. I was so lucky to have you as my father and i try everyday to do things in a way that i know you would be proud of. I will miss you for the rest of my life dad, and i hope you knew how much love respect and admiration i had for you. The girls were so very lucky to have you as their pop-pop. They love you so much and miss you even more. They looked up to you so much and loved when they knew you were coming,Maybe it had something to do with the big bag of Swedish Fish you always brought them. Dad you will be GREATLY missed but never forgotten and for the rest of my days i will keep you and our memories in my heart and share them often. The trips to the mountains to Tennessee and just all the time you spent with us just because. Sitting on the porch watching the storms come in is something i will remember and cherish forever. Thank you dad for being so much more than just my father. I Love You!!!
