Sad News From The Butterfield Camp

[mike ross]

Just wanted to let all the Michigan folks and boat racers know that Andy Butterfields dad died yesterday. He was diagnosed with cancer back in August. He went through treatments but it spread fast. He is now resting in a better place. Andy Sr was a long time boat racer who ran many different classes over the years he raced. He was very fond of the marathons and his son Andy Jr followed in his path and is still one of the finest drivers of a 25 runabout today. Please say a prayer for Andy Jr and his sister Sue. I will post the funeral info as soon as it is firmed up. I don't know if I can take any more funerals this year. Anyway I spoke with Andy and he is in good spirits and is glad his dad isn't suffering anymore. Here is his cell # if you would like to call him. 1-810-335-6850 This is the time when our race boat family provides the support needed during hard times. Thanks everyone!!!!!! Mikey

Andy, Sorry to hear the sad news today. Your dad will be missed by many.
As a kid growing up in this sport Andy Sr. was one of the racers that I idolized and he always took the time to explain thing to me. I still can remember his runabout with the 20H on it like it was yesterday.
Our prayers go out to you and your family
