Something just made me look up the Butlers this morning. I haven’t seen them since the early 2000s but I thought back with fondness of my time working for them in my late teens/early twenties at Forrest Machining. It was my very first office job while I was in my first year of college and I truly was very fortunate to work for the Butler/Wooten family. Mr. Butler was such a kind, genuinely caring man with very few words but when he did speak to you he looked you in your eyes and it was very meaningful. Such a great boss and he truly cared for each of his employees. My love and very deepest condolences go out to Mrs. Butler, the Butler and Wooten family and the rest of his family and friends. 

I had the pleasure of working for Mr. Butler for nearly 20 years. I consider him to be one of my primary mentors. His example of stability, kindness and professionalism is unmatched. His life has left an indelible mark on the lives of his employees and on the aerospace industry. 
Denise and I offer our deepest condolences to the Butler family. Our prayer is that God will comfort you during this time of great loss. May your wonderful memories of this great man fill your hearts with joy.

Bob Butler and his family were there for my family in the worst of times.
I've worked for Bob for over 20 years and he always had the time to ask how I was doing. 
Bless you and your family in this time.


He was such a great man. We will miss him! I thank him for all that he did for me and our family!

Love, Frank Calta

We have lost one of the industries outstanding leaders
