for some of us who knew butch and some us that didn't know him tha well: he was a well known person in the radio community and a great person at that, he didn't take crap from no one and has good heart with the humble look in his eyes. he gave it his all to the radio world and the radio world is a dieing breed so to speak. but this one man put his heart and soul into it and give it spunk back. passing on what he know to other people and new hams as well as also getting people into the world of radio. he's one of many reasons that radio is still around. soo lets embrase what we call radio and that being said , let radio live on through the memorys of Butch"ve7ogw" and other fellow hams/loved ones we lost as well in the past. Butch you will be missed by all. | Butch
