My prayers, memories and gratitude I extend to Butch. My prayers go to his family. Butch will always be apart of what is positive in my life. He has extended himself above and beyond to other, that was the man I know and always will. Butch has never not been there for his town and community. His religion meant so much and his love of others with the greatest heart will be apart of all. I will truly miss his kind and strong will and presence in my life. God Bless Always.

Norton, MA,
There are no words that can describe the pain, nor words that will fill the void when a part of you leaves, but we can use words to share the memories of a man that has touched so many of us in so many ways. To Jonathan and Danny, thank you for your words at the eulogy, we will add them to our memory of Butch. To Patrick, Uncle Butch will always be close you. To Janet, cherish those memories, they won’t stop the pain but they will help fill the void. And finally to Butch, keep cruising and thank you for letting our family be part of your life. Andy, Terri, Rob, Andy JR and Jen

Norton, ,
Where do I start. Butch has been such a huge part of our lives for 30 years. What started out as a trial 6 months turned into a too short half a lifetime. Working with Butch was quite an experience. I saw him at his worst and absolutely at his best. He was my boss who turned into my best friend. He was a confidant and sound board, helping me make some crucial decisions in my life. He was supper to my whole family and we all loved him very much. Butch you will be very missed..Terri
