QUOTES
There are a lot of stories you could tell about
Butch. He was a one of a kind guy.
     He represented his constituents in the
Second District well. He kept his people
uppermost in his mind when he sat at the table
with the other commissioners.
But when he was away from the table, he liked to
have fun. I remember how he liked to sing a song
or two.
