2 Aug 2022Butch and I go way back together and built many happy childhood memories. I will always remember our trips to the TastyFreeze and to the Bon shopping center to spend the change that was burning a hole in our pockets on candy from the dime store.
As we grew older we had some crazy times as we worked so hard to keep our mini bikes and go cart running and to not get killed or maimed in the process. The Lord definitely had His eye on us!
We had many other childhood friends that shared in our fun, as well, and helped to make our growing up years a very special time!
I was truly blessed to have had a friend like Butch and will always cherish the times we had together!
