Fond memories from working with Butch at Firecom. I’ll always remember going to NASCAR races and playing golf. My condolences to the family at this difficult time.
I just want to say that I am sorry for your loss. Butch was a man I came to know through the Fire radio as a member of the East Rockaway FD. And then by my friends at Fire Com. And with him liking of NASCAR brought us together watching races on TV. But especially driving with him to the Daytona 500. Also the love he had for his old Pick up truck which he worked on at my families auto shop Torborg’s Garage. He was a true friend and from all of us from the Torborg family we again send our prayers and condolences to you and the family.
Blessings and prayers for you and your girls Helen. Prayers for peace, and healing for your entire family.
So sorry to learn of your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. May God continue to provide peace and comfort .
I just want to say how sorry I am to hear of Butch’s passing. He was a great guy and friend. We had some fun times together for sure. My prayers and thoughts are with Helen and their kids. May God be with you in your real time of need. God bless you all !
