Butch and Rose ran the snack shop at all the North Haven Little League games in their earlier years. Butch enjoyed gardening, fishing, crabbing, boating, frequent trips to the casino but most of all attending all his grandchildren’s sporting and dancing events. Butch was an excellent example of what a hardworking-dedicated-respected husband, father, and grandfather should be.
