Butch, I’ll bet it’s been 30 years since we’ve visited, but the good times (and they were ALL good times!) will never be forgotten. See you in Heaven my friend! Kenny, Kevin, the rest of Butch’s family, God Bless you all.
Jodie and family, we send our love as we know it is a tough time!
And to the rest of the Laack family I am truly sorry for your loss.
Leroy,
I am glad that I met you almost 15 years ago. You will def be missed on this physical earth you’re heart was so big and you love your family and friends so much. I am so glad that I had stopped in out of the blue to see you again you have always gave me a huge hug no matter when it was and told me you loved me like a son. I am so happy that you had let me get to know your family the way I do and I do consider them all like an extended part of me. You will never EVER be forgotten and you will always have a huge part of my heart. Come and visit us down here especially your kids. Thank you so much for bringing so much laughter into my life. I will never forget all the times you and I have had on the road trucking together. Once again I am so glad that I did stop in and see you, Kenny, Katti and Jason that day. I will always love you. Justin
We will all miss u Butch i’m saying this for my dad since he isn’t handling and of this well at all. He is remembering on all the good times and bad that u both had together he misses u unlce. He is so torn up u two were like brothers not blood but still very close so please look over him. Love Stanley, Donna, Gregory, Natasha, Ashley, Misty(Jodi and u named her remember) also the lil ones Elizabeth, Kiwi, Kayden, and D’Shaun.
I’m saying this for my dad Stanley him and butch were like brothers might have not been blood but still they were tight. They had a lot of fun and some bad times together. My dad is taking it so hard right now along with all the family. I really hope all stays strong and remember all the great times we had with my uncle that is what he would have wanted. We all miss you so very much Butch. Love Stanley, Donna, Gregory, Natasha, Ashley, Misty(Jodi and u named here remember), also love all the lil ones Elizabeth, Kiwi, Kayden, and D’Shaun.
I love and miss you dad. Put in a good word for me when its my time 🙂 You were the best dad I could have ever asked for. You were my hero. I know things between us were pretty rocky before you passed and Im sorry about all that. I love you soooo much and I miss you.
I’ve been taking care of you off and on for the past 23 years…so it only seems natural for me to step up to the plate and help the kids get through this as well. Your/our children have broken hearts…but they are strong and you know it as well as I do that they will make it through this too. I have so many memories of the life you lived. I am fortunate to have been able to share parts of that life with you. You know that I will always be here to help the kids and to guide them along the way. We could use a little help from above though…so if you can arrange to give us a hand it sure would help. May you rest in peace. You may be gone but you will never be forgotten.
Big brother I miss you and love you. Now my little Addison has you to take care of her. I love you big brother.
Papa Laack, I miss you and love you. Can’t believe you are gone.
**My heart goes out to my friends, almost family, Leah, Katti, Jason, and Ken. I am here for all of you.
