After Deeny died, I was even unable to get an address for your Dad. I am the oldest daughter of Marj and Wally Butler. I remember both your parents well, and with great fondness. My mother and yours were especially close, and your mother was always so much fun and so kind. I just wanted you to know that you are not alone—others will always miss them, too. They will be remembered. Lyn Butler Kaufman Tim and Carol Luce | Jan 10, 2021 Candi, Jim and Bill, Carol and I were saddened to see your dad's obituary in the paper this morning. Your dad and mom were such special people and such an influence in our lives. We have a lot of great memories of times with your folks. Your dad was always there to help with a car problem or to talk. They were so important to my parents. God bless and know yu are in our prayers.
