ROCKY HOCK CHURCH BULLETIN - "A Tribute to Frederick Wayne Butler 1936 - 2007" 

  Fred grew up here at Rocky Hock Church.  His mother, "Miss Violet," was a 
dear lady and was going to have Fred and his brother, Tom, at church on Sunday 
morning if at all possible. 

  Fred was always friendly and likeable as a boy.  This was a trait that went 
with him through life.  Fred had a way of getting into trouble when he was 
growing up.  He would have a mischievous smile on his face the whole time.  Of 
course, it was jsut innocent trouble but boy, died he have fun. 

  Even though Fred is gone now we will always remember his smiling face.
