We’d like to thank everyone again for the continuing love and support we’ve received since Steve’s passing. This post is to remind and provide some more details for Steve’s memorial service, which will take place at 4pm, Saturday April 8, at the Earle Brown Heritage Center in Minneapolis, MN. Directions to the venue are also on the website.
For guests arriving on Friday the 7th, we welcome you to join us at Pinstripes in Edina, MN from 5pm-7pm for bowling and other fun.
If you plan to attend either event and haven’t already been in contact with one of us, please let Mike Buttry know at mwesleybuttry@gmail.com.
Finally, there are blocks of hotel rooms available for out-of-town guests under the name “Buttry Memorial.”
- The Embassy Suites Minneapolis North is directly adjacent to the Earle Brown Heritage Center. Reservations under the block close on March 21.
- The Westin Edina Galleria is located near Mike and Susie in Edina, about 20 minutes away from the venue. Reservations under the block close on April 1.
Again, thank you for the continued love and support. While the pain of Steve’s passing is still with us, we have found genuine solace in the positive impact he’s had on so many of your lives.
Mimi, Tom, Mike and Joe
Dear Buttry Family. Iâm in Vancouver, Canada, and wonât be able to be at Steveâs memorial service. You have all been in my thoughts since I received that final e-mail from Steve.
I had e-mailed a few weeks previous to his last e-mail, telling him how helpful his advice has been to me, a working writer, with not nearly enough formal journalism training. He was generous and insightful.
Mimi, I had also talked to Steve about Tofino and whale-watching and he mentioned how much you had enjoyed British Columbia and hoped to return. Iâm sure you will cherish those memories of Vancouver Island.
God bless all the Buttrysâ¦you are a remarkable, loving group of people. I know youâll cherish Steve always, as he cherished you.
All the best.
Sarah (Sally) Bennett
