Tina and family,
You are in our thoughts and prayers now, as you have been since we heard about Butch's illness. God grant you peace through the remembrance of good times and the knowledge that Butch is in a better place. A place from which he waits for and watches over you.

Butch, you were one of the best members Northlake Post 888 ever had. I thank you for your military service to our great country & for being a past commander of the Northlake American Legion Post 888. Rest in peace for a duty well done.
From a current member of Post 888.

Thank you for all the happy memories that we've shared. God called upon you he knew he was taking a good man. I know you are with me in spirit everyday. When the day comes that I walk down the aisle I know you will be there for every step that I take, and then when I start my family and my first child is born, I know your arms will be wrapped around him. I know I will truly miss you through these special times, as I will each and every day. Until we meet again. May you rest in peace.

Growing up in Granite Falls, Minnesota, the Volstad family was very close. We always were together for different activities. When we grew up, everyone seemed to move away, start their own families and the closeness disappeared. But, the memories are always there. Tina and children -- Butch will always be remembered as a much loved cousin. He suffered so much and now is strong and whole again.
Love and prayers for you all, Joy

Tina, The friendship we have shared - the laughs, the tears, the celebrations and the disappointments - will forever be stored in the "good" side of my memory bank. You and Butchie and I shared a lot over the last ten years, and I will continue to be here for you, and with you - I will cherish your friendship forever. Love ya, Rosie

Tammy and Family,
I am very sorry for your loss. I can only imagine the pain that you all feel right now. Just know that he was a good man and is now in peace. Remember that even though his body is gone, he still lives on through the hearts of everyone of you. Don't ever let him out of your heart and he'll never be far away. May he rest in peace and may you all accept my condalances.

The past 40 years have passed quickly but I will never forget the sailor that Patricia brought to meet us, the man who would visit with my dad..the 2 of them drinking beer by the quart bottles, band-aids and of course my Incredible Hulk.
..It takes a minute to find a special person,
an hour to appreciate them,
but then an entire life to forget them.
I will never forget you Butchie - until we meet again...

Dad,
Thank you for all of the memories you have given your five children over the years. Sometimes we would forget the things you did for us, but we never forgot who you were to us. You spirit will live on through your children and grandchildren. I know at this moment in time you are catching up with your family whom you have not seen in many years. You may be gone, but we will never forget you. I know that whenever we look up to the sky, you will be smiling down at us. Godspeed to you, and remember, keep them cold for the day that we meet again.
