"Our Deepest Sympathy To You All. So many memories we shared with Butch especially the ones when he joined our group to produce the 1st Carson Community Rodeo. Most memorial were the times we spend together convincing the Community of Carson that this idea WILL work. 40 years later, it still is. From convincing the Queen Candidates that they were safe riding with us, of course Butch was the driver, going to surrounding communities to sell tickets, and sell they did. Our friendship doesn't end with your death, It refresh's our strong ties and the memories we shared. R.I.P. our Dear Friend."
