SFC (R) Dave Butler
Received sad news this week, SFA Chapter 62 member SFC (R) Dave Butler has passed away.
Dave was a former 7th SFG 18C with an EOD background, and was one of the most knowledgeable demo men I ever worked with. We were on demo committee with Ernie at the same time, had a lot of good times together.
I had not seen him for a couple of months, not unusual, but the word came out that he had been admitted to the hospital this past Sunday for unknown reasons and passed mid-week.
RIP, hermano, prayers out.
Thank you for your service and your friendship throughout our time together.
Let this be a lesson that you never know when you have said goodbye and shared a drink for the last time.
DOL, amigo. See you on the other side.

The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat." - President Theodore Roosevelt, 1910
