Charlie is survived by his wife, Barbara, his children, Charles & Michael; and grandson Colin.
Charlie was born on October 27, 1949 in Elizabeth, New Jersey to Theodora & Charles E Butler, Jr. He graduated from the University of Miami in 1974 with a Juris Doctorate degree. He married Barbara Sadovsky, the love of his life in 1977. He established his law practice in Ft. Lauderdale, FL in 1975. In the 80’s, the couple welcomed 2 children into their home and Charlie set about teaching them all things Miami Hurricanes football, shooting and all things “man” related. In 2017, when his grandson was born, the tradition continued.
Charlie was accomplished at target shooting and often would compete with his local group of friends. He was a larger than life individual who loved to spend time with family and friends. Charlie was passionate about fishing, boating, cigars and good rum.
A Celebration of Life is scheduled for Monday, August 23, 2021 From 6:00pm to 10:00pm at Kraeer Funeral Home. 1655 University Drive, Coral Springs, FL 33071. All are welcome to attend and celebrate Charlie’s life.
