Uncle Butch (as I called him my whole life) will be sorely missed. He was a great teacher and friend to me from my earliest days up to the present. He was a rock of stability, principle and steadfastness in an otherwise changing and fickle world. But it was his signature characteristic to leaven his seriousness of purpose with ample injections of humor. Whether it was retelling old family anecdotes or commenting on more contemporary situations, his gift for comedic timing always kept me in stitches, while subtly reinforcing his message that people should not take themselves too seriously. His memory will always remain bright with me, and I will do my best to pass on his lessons and his stories. And think of him, up there now, probably swapping tales with Leslie Nielsen. RIP Uncle Butch.
