Crazybo (Butch) is who got me into Canadian coins and taught me a lot about RPMs. Sounds like an inspirational collector. Quote:
He was an "out-of-the-box" thinker for sure. Admirable. Although I was unaware of "Crazybo" here on CCF, his outstanding generosity will surely be missed. I'm sure the community has lost a great contributor. RIP Butch.

I'm sad to hear that Butch has passed. Lots of good discussions with him, both on and off CCF.

A story to show how generous Butch was. Butch had been trying to get me to complete the V ( Liberty nickels), but since I was working on completing the walking liberties I told him I would have to wait. So for christmas he sends me this.  I was only missing 3 coins to complete the set. I may sell most of my coins but this set will stay with me. It will always remind me of the generosity of Butch.    Edited by hfjacinto

Sounds like an inspirational collector Yup. To say the least. He put together a type set of American coins for me out of the blue. Beautiful. Few and far between to meet a better guy.

A sad, but timely reason, to remind all that this is the Coin Community FAMILY!
We have lost a member of our family...

I enjoyed his irreverent take on some things. When we would PM he was a different person and, as has been said multiple times, a very generous guy. We had plans to meet up if I ever made it past the Mississippi River and I never did (yet). I guess now we will meet on the streets of gold! I'm very happy to hear he was a Christian - that means it isn't over yet...

If anyone is nearby and can attend there will be a funeral for Butch on Monday, 8/3/2020. The address is below. The viewing will be at noon, a service at 1 and a procession to the grave site at 2. Due to Covid, if attending I would contact the funeral home for any precautions needed.  |

Has a charity or something been set up in his name? Does his family need anything?
