Poppa was a great man and loved all of his grandchildren very much! He loved to hunt, fish, and spend time with his family. I loved and respected him very much. God truly received a great angel when he called poppa home.

It’s been a long time since I saw or talked to Mr. Fitch. I remember him being a firm, no nonsense dad to my buddies Mike and Tommy. My heart and prayers go out to you all. Rest in peace Butch.
