Butch was an avid outdoorsman, he loved fishing and camping. He loved collecting old fishing lures, fishing poles, and watching YouTube videos of his grandsons, Josh and Jeremy racing BMX. He also loved watching NASCAR, and watching The Ohio State Buckeyes, much to the dismay of his UK loving grandson, Tyler. His grandson, Cody was also only a phone call away. Butch cherished his visits with his granddaughters, Shelby, Caitlyn, Abby and Emily. He had an intense love for his family, but was also the most stubborn man on earth.
