So sorry, kids, to find out your dad has passed. There was love over the years. Know that you are in my thoughts. Keep in touch with me even tho I am in Florida. Butch was five years old when I first met him, by the way, he was quite the character. Loved him from that moment on. Love from me to you. Aunt Nancy
