Butch and Pat had been companions since they were 14 years old. He will
now be with the love of his life again, which gives his family peace. Butch
was a devoted, hands-on father and grandfather to both human and fur kids.
He did everything with his family and if they couldn’t go, he didn’t go. He
was known as the “baby whisperer” because he could calm any crying baby.
He had many stories and songs to sing to all the children in the family. Butch
was a jokester and known for his great sense of humor. He was also known
as “George” when he was in trouble with Mom.

Butch will be greatly missed by his remaining family and friends, but we
know he is in heaven and seeing many of his family who he dearly missed
and dancing for joy and smiling with Mom again.
