I will miss his wit, charm, and constant positivity no matter what was going on in life, his or mine. Heaven now has a special person up there and GOD and the other Angels are already laughing and loving him like we all did. Sincere condolences to Jane and the family, he was a special person that we are all proud to have known and had our lives touched by him.

Dear Jane, I am so saddened to hear of Butch's passing. He was the most awesome person and teacher I have ever had in my life. I learned so much from him that word's cannot express. When I was having a bad day I would go see Butch and we had our long talks and when I got back home I always felt better, he was the WIZARD hands down. I'm grateful to have known him for 23 year's and I will treasure that in my heart forever. Taking class every Thursday was something I looked forward to even during a major snowstorm classes were always on. God called you home, and now you are an angel watching over your family, friend's and loved ones. Words cannot express how much you will be missed. I send you love, unicorns and rainbows forever. With Love Always, Debbiedeb and Family

Butch was funny, guick witted, with a smile always on his face. No matter how down I was due to family illness or my own, he brightened the moment. Never complained, always up-beat, just a pleasure to be in his companey. Truly one of the real good guys. I, for one, will miss him dearly, he was one of a kind. Sigh. Charles Longo
