     He is survived by his loving wife of 52 years, Charlotte Stockett Butler; a son, Brian Butler, also of Bruceton Mills; and many nieces and nephews. 
     In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by a brother and a sister, Ronnie Butler and Donna Smith, both of Crucible, Pa.
     Butch was a 1963 graduate of Bruceton High School.  He served his country in the Vietnam War as a helicopter mechanic with the 128th Aviation Assault Helicopter Co. from 1965-1966 in Phu Loi, and from 1966-1968, he was stationed at Fort Bragg, N.C. in the 82nd Airborne, 128th Aviation Battalion as a helicopter crew chief.  He was a member of the VFW Post 2523 of Bruceton Mills.
