His father started Carlyle Roofing Company, Inc. in the 1940’s. Butch took over the business right out of college in 1967. As his health declined, Butch transitioned responsibility of the company to his son George, making it a 3

Ken Carpenter, Class of ’63. To Anne and the Carlyle family. I’m so sorry to hear about the passing of Butch. Butch and I were locker mates all thru Grade, Jr High and High School and we knew more about each other than anyone would really want to know about anybody. Butch could always be found at the Carpenter house, as so many of our friends and my parents enjoyed him so much also. I worked one summer with Butch in his fathers roofing business, what a hard job (the hardest I ever had), but as Butch would say, got a hell of a tan from the waist up. My thoughts of Butch are like yesterday and my prayers are with the Carlyle family. Ken & Linda Carpenter, South Bend, IN.

Its been a great joy having Butch & Annie as our neighbors for over 40 years. The Sunday neighborhood canoe trips down the Gun River bring fond memories as well as the dinners and great fellowship we have enjoyed over these many years.
We will miss Butch on his daily walks around the block with Dee, and will miss his sense of humor and warm smile which was amazing with all the physical pain he endured.
We will sincerely miss him in the neighborhood and pray for you Ann, Catherine, George, and families.
