Mike, Mary, Joe, Lisa, and Danny,
My sincere condolences to you and your extended family on the passing of your father. From the time I was a child I always looked forward to seeing and hearing from my uncle Butch. Even in recent years when I would visit, he always made it a point to come by, ask how I was doing, about my boys, and how things were in Virginia, etc. It always brought me a smile hearing him pontificate about the world and the many subjects that only uncle Butch could have an opinion on. My fondest childhood memories were Friday nights when you all would come over and with a beer in one hand and a cigar in the other, he would explain what was wrong with the world :) I hung on every word. A few years back I called him Earl and he replied as only he could, “call me ‘Butch’, I’ve been ‘Butch’ my whole life”. I could only smile. With that I say to my uncle “Butch”, Godspeed, may you Rest in Peace”

So sorry for your loss. Jane & Butch were my mother's neighbors. They were kind & great neighbors. May God bless all of the Menner family.

To the Menner Family. First off you all have my sympathy. I’m Butch’s cousin Pat. Now where to begin. We were 10 years apart. We talked on a weekly basis. He always made me laugh. I don’t know if I can say this but he was the biggest pain in the - - - there ever was. But to be fair I was right behind him. We would argue laugh and sometimes cry. He was the kindest person I’ll ever know. He was so kind to the people he delivered meals to and so kind to people at the nursing home. After he retired from delivering meals he would visit the people on his own time. I will miss his weekly chats and his raising HELL. He is with Jane now and I suppose very happy that they are both in God’s hands. Love you!
Pat.
Sending my sincere condolences to the Menner Family at your loss. Keeping you all in my prayers. God's Blessings to you.
Love, Sandy
