The Rev. Robert "Bob" L. Butcher, 82, passed away Sunday (March 18, 2007) at the Arbors at Fairmont Nursing Center.
He was born May 23, 1924, in Marion County, a son of the late Isaac Franklin Butcher and Madge Marie Harris Butcher.

In addition, he worked as a coal miner and as a self-employed coal truck driver. He was co-owner and operator of Butcher's Construction Company. He retired from the Owens-Illinois plant in Fairmont as a mechanic.
His ministry, and the souls he won for Christ, were his most important work. He had a great love for Christ and others.

He also enjoyed being outdoors, camping, fishing and spending time with his family.
