Paul Thomas Butcher was a simple man who knew where his position in life was. He was loyal to those who shared in his life. He loved sports and he loved driving for Greyhound Bus Lines. In his later years, he would still go bowling and play golf regularly. It has been said, 'He would dream with his hands extended as if he was driving a bus.' A testament to his love of driving.
His family was important to him. He had six sons and one daughter from two marriages. He imparted several important lessons to his children, but a few that stand out are these, honesty, integrity, discipline, loyalty and a solid work ethic. Paul T. Butcher was a great man who had little equal. We will all miss him. |
