Bill Butler, former Saints FB, died.

A high school classmate of mine, Bill Butler, passed away January 23, 2018. He played FB from 1972-74.

He passed yesterday after a long battle with COPD. Bill was hoping to get a lung transplant but was denied when his heart got too week. Mary said he was planning on coming to our 50th Reunion even if it was in a wheelchair and talked highly of his high school friends. His viewing is in Manhattan, Kansas Monday, 1/29.
