Butch Mahr RIP

[Roger Rettig]

What an awful shock!

I had known Butch and Terry from the early days of Gerry's UK steel festival. He was lots of fun to be around and a real enthusiast for all things steel-related.

Susie and I have been delighted that Butch and Terry have visited us in our Naples, Florida home a number of times in recent years; they'd travel from Ohio so that Terry could compete in our local marathon and we'd always enjoy a meal together.

Butch had had some serious health issues recently but this news has dismayed us both as he'd been making a marked improvement of late.

We're going to miss him very much and our deepest sympathies go out to dear Terry.
