I have taken some classes from him at sign shows in the past. Always a great instructor and person. I loved going to the Las Vegas and Long Beach shows to take classes, see the new equipment and...SAMPLES

He developed Frog juice

I have no idea what Butch used to make "Frog Juice", but for years I have been using my own concoction of clear acrylic enamel mixed with a small amount of Armor All (a widely available placticizer using poly-dimethylsiloxane (PDMS), a type of siloxane and silicone oil, as a main ingredient) and a few drops of "fish eye remover". Butch found dozens of ways to use Frog Juice, and happily championed his product and demonstrated his product whenever he had a chance. He was a great guy, a talented sign painter, and an avid sportsman. I always looked forward to seeing him at sign shows and conventions. He will be missed and remembered!

He was a blast to be around. took his seminar twice and saw him a couple more times at trade shows. I used to be a pretty good 'spitter of the water' to get the wet look and a pretty good 'crumpler of the vinyl' to get the marble look, and the Yellow-Orange-Red sunset fade. Thanks Butch, I didn't even know you was old.
