<p class="MsoNormal">It is with great sadness that I report the passing of our beloved, long-term, faithful member, Henry Butler Junior, who died on yesterday.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Henry was quite dedicated to the federations cause and participated in everything from the national and state conventions, to passing out literature in the community, to attending Ohio board meetings, to attending almost every Chapter meeting.
He truly was a federationist. One of my most memorable times, is seeing him in the hallways at the national convention in Detroit selling M&M’S.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Henry also played Beep Base Ball, was a member of the Blind Bowling Team and faithful member of his church. During his last days on earth, his daughter moved him into her home to care for him. He did not like that, but quickly adjusted.
She was concerned for his safety living alone at home. I am so glad that she knew what he needed.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The Cleveland Chapter has loss a shiny and bright diamond. We grieve, but we are also so grateful to have had Henry for over 40 years in the Cleveland Chapter.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Henry, <b><i>"Your life was a blessing, your memory a treasure, you are loved beyond words and missed beyond measure."
</i></b>May You rest in heavenly peace.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">There are no arrangements at this time. However, I will share as I am provided with them.<o:p></o:p></p>
