Guestbook
I waited on Butch , his Mom and Dand and brother Jim for years at the Swan Cafe. Always kidding around and full of fun. The boys would try to pinch me when I took there order and they would laugh like crazy as I would jump to get away. I saw Butch for the 1st time after Viet Nam in the resturant ans was so shocked to see hi m in a wheel chair with no legs, I felt so bad for him. Wasn, long and he was out of his chair and chasing me behind the till trying to pinch me. I thought oh its still the same guy just lost his legs. He was never one to feel sorry for himself. I remember when Diane and him got married also. He will be missed, my sympathy to Diane and his children and their family’s, He will be missed and his wonderful sence
