I'm so sorry to hear of Butch's passing. I enjoyed our many conversations at Tri State Ice Arena and Huntington Blizzard hockey games. He was always there for his sons who played in our hockey league. My thoughts and prayers are with his family at this time. They have lost a wonderful and caring person.
In 2000 Fairland Senior League Baseball team won the district and the team and parents loaded up and headed to Ashtabula, OH to compete. Although we never won a single game, everyone had a wonderful time and mostly because of Butch! He kept the whole group in stitches with his hilarious antics! We will miss you Butch! Our heartfelt sympathy for his family! Delores & Tony Paragon
