Thread: DEATH OF A GOD

A great man passed away last Sunday. Though the great many number of you never heard his name,...The job he did,...the causes he fought for,..or any facit of the life he lead.
A man who served as counter- intellegance in the Army from '52-'56, Graduated from Notre Dame law school,
an attorney for more than 50 yrs.,...
The son of a man who came from Sicily with nothing more than 50 cents in his pocket.
A man who cared for his cancer ridden wife for more than 20 yrs., who raised 4 incredable kids, and had 11 amazing grand-children.
This was a man than gave more than 25 yrs. of his life working tiredesly, for ST. Jude Childrens Hospital,....
This is the man who, inJanuary of '63, called his newborn nephew' a creep"..
This was my Uncle.
This was Joseph Buttofuoco
He was buried today.


I will never forget him,...I will never stop missing
him .

My condolences to you, Creep!

He sounded like a great man...and a great fellow lawyer...now he's reunited with his wife...and his legacy lives on in you and your cousins!

Thank you very much,Cajun.
