Butch was a proud United States Army veteran of the Vietnam War.  He will be remembered by many for riding his scooter around town or parking at the Middleboro VFW, scratching his tickets and hanging out with friends.  He was a very active member of the Middleboro VFW Post 2188 and was a past Post Commander.  Butch also held memberships at the Mitchell Memorial Club and the American Legion. 

Butch loved his family and friends.  That love was returned.  He will be missed.
