Butch was born in Lake ODessa, MI on November 21, 1948, the son of Marjory and 
Leo Carr.He was raised in the Lake Odessa area and attended local schools,

Manger, retiring in 2004 after 33 years of faithful service.

his "main" job was being "grandpa". Each day, Butch would pick the grandchildren 
up from school and take them back to the house, until grandma got home.

On a sunny summer day, Butch could be found sitting outside basking in the 
sunshine listening to classic rock n roll. He enjoyed attending all of the 
grandchildren's school events, and annual visit to the the upper peninsula.
