I have fond memories of Butch in many of my classes at Riverside Jr. High and at Carter High school. He was always up-beat and outgoing. My condolences to Lynn and family.

Great Coach and friend prayers to Lynn and family. He will be missed by the Carter Riverside alumni.
My condolences to Lynn and family. Butch was one of those people who you’d love to associate with because he was positive, friendly and usually laughing. I enjoyed being in class with him and watching him play baseball through junior high and high school and also at Baylor. I’m sure he influenced many young lives as a coach. He will be missed.
