Home after a bittersweet evening. Seeing all my red neck buddies was awesome, but we all made a pact to do it again before we found one of us at Milwards or Kerr brothers. Butch Reed was the man that all of us should aspire to be as humans. He was well loved, as attested by the numbers of people at his visitation. He would give you the shirt off of his back, if he had one on that is, and if he thought you needed it. And he wouldnt take no for an answer once he made his mind up. He was a man of his word, and a handshake was a binding contract to him. He gave all, loved unconditionally, and was full of heart and forgiveness. The world of drag racing lost a hell of a racer and mechanic......and I lost a great friend. And God gained a great soul this week. Tell those close to you what they mean, Butch would advise that, for we never know when the Lord will call us home.
