We Thank You Dad for being a solid foundation for the people we are today. You and Mom gave us a home filled with love. Your quiet strength always made it easy to talk with you (your Chatty Kathy) and you were always there to listen to us growing up and were there for your grandchildren too.
When your health began to fail these past few years, we were honoured to be there for you and care for you as you have always done for us. Even with its challenges at times, and even though you were the “quiet” one in the family, that did not mean there wasn’t a bit of mischief you could get yourself into. We all know as family, friends and care givers what that all entailed over the years! That being said, we loved and will always love you and will miss your presence in our lives. Till we meet again … Cheers & Bless You.
We would like to extend a sincere thank you to all the staff at Blue Water Rest Home for the care and compassion provided to Butch and our family during his stay.
Cremation has taken place. A private graveside service will be held at a later date.
Donations to Blue Water Rest Home – Residents Fund or Jessica’s House Hospice would be appreciated by the family.
