Butch (Butchie) was a good friend for nearly 40 years. He and I were always competing and if we could have, we would have bet on which drop of water would reach the bottom of a window first!
We were not surprised to hear that he had been telling jokes to his nurses after the stroke – he had a terrific sense of humor.
You can be sure that if there is golf where he went, he’s teeing off right now.
Our condolences to the entire family – he was one of the good guys.

Butch was my first supervisor as I started my career at Technicon. He became a friend and someone I could count on at anytime. My condolences to the family and to be sure, will miss him. I had an opportunity to talk to him over the Christmas holidays and he was in good spirits despite his condition.

Condolences to the Buczek family. Our thoughts and prayers go out to your whole family. Psalms 147:3 says God, “heals the broken hearted, and binds up their wounds.” May God bring you comfort and peace.
