Sorry to hear of Allan’s passing. He was a great person with a very careing wife and family. May he rest in pease. (Keep the Faith). The Shuler Families
My condolences to the family. He was a character, for sure! One of his antics involved a cat and a tree! You had to be there. Rest In Peace Butch. You will forever be in our hearts. Prayers for comfort for his family and God Bless all of you!
I have known Janna, Jimmy, Butch and Louise since I was a little girl. Janna’s family were like my second family. When I was about 12 years old, I remember Butch was home and he was the first boy that taught me to slow dance. I thought I was big stuff that day. Butch was always a great guy and I will never forget him. Rest In Peace Butch, you can finally see the beauty of heaven.❤️?.
