What can you say about Butch?

Butch was my cousin. Our Dads were twin brothers. We have 13 cousins on my moms side. Only Butch and Ray on my Dads side. But that was plenty! Butch made up for the lack of cousins on dads side. We didn't see each other much as adults. But as kids, he was always working on his car at Grandmas, and we were always annoying him. He was 5 yrs older than me. We had a song we used to taunt each other with "My Dads better than your dad! My dads better than yours!" and on...with the Kennel Ration commercial. We spent lots of time at their house when we visited Grandma. Aunt Mary always had a ton of food, and we ran wild in the basement,playing pool,playing the slot machine and drinking root beer at Uncle Hales bar. Last time I saw Butch was at Grandmas 100th Birthday celebration. He took my husband, daughter and I, for a ride in his rig. We took in the sights of Joliet, then a ride through McDonalds drive through. Last time I talked to him was when our Uncle Rich died, over a year ago. When we hung up he said "I love you" Love you too Butch! Please be at peace xxxooo
