William "Butch" A Manning, Jr died on July 23, 2021 at the Valley Terrace in White River Jct, VT after a long battle with dementia. Butch was born January 23, 1952, in Hanover, NH the son of William A. and Virginia W. (Waterman) Manning.
He grew up in White River Jct., and graduated from Hartford High School in (year). He enlisted shortly after graduation and served in the US Navy for four years.
Butch returned to the Upper Valley and started working for his father's business, Hartford Oil Company as a truck driver.
On August 17, 1974, he married Kim Berry and they made their home in West Lebanon, NH. They had twins in 1976, a son, Scott and daughter, Brady-Lyn. Tragically, three days after her birth Brady-Lyn died due to a rare health condition. Butch continued to drive truck for his dad but also began driving as an independent owner/operator. He drove for Abenaki Fuels, Decato Brothers, Johnson and Dix but eventually returned to haul fuel for Hartford Oil. Many of those years Butch did long hauls and would be gone for extended periods of time. As he got older, he switched and began running the shorter day routes for the company.
Throughout their entire married lives Kim and Butch enjoyed camping. For many years they held a seasonal lot at Abel Mountain Campground in Randolph, VT where they formed some very special friendships. Along with these friends they went on many excursions, including hauling their campers all the way to Disney in Florida, and going on several cruises. For the past couple of years, they have camped at Rest-In-Nest Camp Ground in Thetford, VT.
The last few years Kim cared for Butch at home until these last few months when he was moved to Valley Terrace.
