My buddy. I’ll miss you
My buddy. I’ll miss you calling me and saying “Hey girl”. I’ll miss you burning the burgers on the grill! So many happy memories of Halloween parties with hay rides, camping trips, our crazy trip to Kiawah Island, laughing at you and Dale moving that heavy sofa, pool parties…I could go on and on. You were always there for me if I needed anything. Always in my heart. Love you forever. Jen

Mission Accomplished
SGM Butler,
It has been an honor to serve with at the 626 American Legion Post. You provided leadership only a Senior NCO could have provided. You made a strong impact in the Birdsboro Community in your short time in the Borough. You will be missed my friend. I pray for peace and comfort for your family and friends. RIP with our Lord Jesus Christ.

ANOTHER FAMILY MEMBER GONE WAY TO SOON R.I.P. FRED
Great memories, he will be missed.
Myk and I have such good memories of the many times we would all get together! So many bonfires… the weekend we all spent sitting around our burning “ring of fire” that used to be the huge pine tree. So many New Years we all rang (pots and pans) in together. The stories we still tell of the Halloween parties and his famous chili. His kindness, when I was all alone and some siding blew off my home, Fred and Travis came down and fixed it. He will be missed.
Very sorry to hear this news.
