Butch attended South Williamsport High School and graduated while station at Ft. Benning. He proudly served our country in the United States Army and earned the title of Army Ranger.

Butch had a passion for life. He was the President of the Road Knights MC, finding joy and freedom on the open road, riding his cherished Harley Davidson.
