I especially mourn the loss of a Brother Don "Butch" Martin whose spirit has been summoned to the land where our fathers have gone before us; that house not made with hands. Brother Don guided me through my journey in seeking light, more light, and further light in Masonry. He was there when I was made a Master Mason, an Eastern Star, a Knight's Templar, a 32nd Degree Scottish Rite Mason and a Shiner. If one man changed my life more than anyone else, it was Brother Don. He embedded into me to regulate my life by the plumbline of justice, ever squaring my actions by the square of virtue, that when the Grand Warden of Heaven shall call for me, I too may be found ready. Brother Don cultivated assiduously the noble tenets of our profession: Brotherly Love, Relief, and Truth. I know and am assured that Brother Don has gone from his labors here on earth to eternal refreshment in the paradise of God, where, by the benefit of the pass of a pure and blameless life, and an unshaken confidence in the merits of the Lion of the tribe of Judah, he gained admission into the celestial lodge where the Supreme Architect of the Universe presides. There, placed at His right hand, God pronounced Donald "Butch" Martin a just and upright man and Masons. Sister Bev our thoughts and prays are with you and know that we are just a phone call away.

Beverly, Larry and I am so sorry for your loss. Butch was a great guy. Larry was so upset to hear of his loss. Larry really enjoyed the visits, jokes, and friendship of Butch. God Bless you and give you peace during this difficult time of loss.

You are all in my thoughts and prayers as you walk this path today. I keep thinking about Butch and my dad, as they tinkered with things, and about that interesting "go cart" they built (which did not have much "go" to it!). I am so sorry for your loss. With love,

Beverly, I am so sad to hear about Butch. He was one of the only guys my dad liked to hang out with! Hearing the jokes and wisecracks those two came up with was both hilarious and disturbing at the same time! You have been such a wonderful friend to my mom and I thank God that He has blessed our family with the friendship of yours. I pray that you, Jamie and little Mason are just wrapped from head to toe in love and comfort by God, your friends and family. I know my mom wishes she could be there for you as you were for her when my dad died. I find joy in knowing that those two are probably up there cracking jokes on all of us now :) Please know that you guys are in our thoughts and prayers. With love, Gia (Vaita) Oney
