  3. TANKS for the memories! Rich and I worked together for many years at GATX. I believe he coined that phrase. I’m so glad that we were friends. Because if we had not met, your brother Patrick would not have met and married my sister and then we all became family. My sincere condolences to the entire Butler family.
    Sincerely,
    Susan and Andy Jones and family. 🇺🇸

  5. Thanks for being a great role model for what a kind, devout, witty and caring member of society should be, as well as what an elder in our family should exemplify. I will miss you not being a part of this plain of existence.

    To Judy, Ryan and Kelley, my sincere condolences.

  8. I will always remember the smiles by Rich to Judy, and Judy to Rich as they visited us in Arizona, as a side trip on their honeymoon. He was so very sweet and patient as he pleasantly ‘endured’ all the questions we had for him, as we assured ourselves of their happiness in this late life marriage. The smiles, the laughter, the sharing, the jokes, the touches, all this demonstrated the love between them. I got to connect again with Rich as he drove us around during a rainy fall visit to his town of Houston, witnessed their continual love for one another. Wish they would have been able to spend more time together, but know the time they did share meant a whole lot to both of them.
    Rich will be greatly missed, he was a genuine good guy, loved his smile!!

  11. Worked with Rich for 23 years at Argo, IL GATX terminal. Our paths crossed after that until now. He was his own man and I liked him. I received a message from him on Facebook from time to time and he was the only guy to call me Mikie {inside joke}. He will be missed.
