RIP Butch. My message is written below this comment. With love, Ezra Roberson and family.

To family, friends and all touched by Your passing, I pray God has blessed them with the comfort of knowing you are at peace and surrounded by love ones. As I reflect back, I will never forget the warmth warmth of your home, pig roast behind the house, Bernice in the kitchen preparing food and deserts, her smile and the calm of your voice when ever you spoke. The time you came to New Jersey and sung at our family reunion, blessing our gathering with your angelic voice and mastery of the guitar. Thank you for sharing your life with us and leaving those left behind to grieve with joyful memories of a man who loved his family, and most of all, God.

So many pleasant memories of you: that voice, that laugh and beautiful smile and the funny stories you shared. You said you will go even if you had to go by yourself, you can rest assured that you though we could not be physically with you you were with us. Rest well. Willie Moses

Love you always cuz Marzella Roberson

I can still hear you singing at the Family reunion in East Orange NJ what a blessing to all of us and that city now Heavens Choir
