Charles Lee Butler1 September 1925 - 25 August 1977
August 25, 1977 – Charles Lee Butler, my brother Chuck, was killed in an auto accident today, just lacking six days of being 52 years old. I will always be grateful for the time we spent at scout camp together this summer, because at the end of the summer Chuck was killed in a traffic accident.
He was killed as a pickup truck with a camper turned left at the intersection of Highway 96 and Baxter Road and hit him in his little sports car. Beth took it real hard, and I tried to comfort her as best I could. Needless to say, it was very hard on Pinky and Toodie and all of the family.
Uncle Chuck was a great husband, father, brother and Scout leader. Dad (Lou) felt a great sense of loss at his death. Future posts will highlight his life and family.
