Our Reunion Committee recently discovered that Butch Lindahl passed away in Columbia, MO in 2020. I knew that Butch's real first name was Everett, but he was always known as Butch (perhaps because he was a Junior, and his father was also Everett). I didn't interact with Butch much at Glenbard West. But he must have moved to Glen Ellyn at an early age (from Oak Park) because I can recall him from grade school, although we were not close friends. He was in Mrs. Creanza's 5th grade class in 1962-63 at Glen Oak Elementary and in Mrs. Ohrn's 3rd grade class in 1960-61 at Ben Franklin Elementary, at least. His Glen Ellyn school career might easily have started earlier. He was a long-time Glen Ellynite during his school years.
The following is from his on-line obtuary:
Everett “Butch” Lindahl, Jr., 68, of Columbia, passed on Monday, July 27, 2020 at the VA Hospital.
Funeral services will be 2 p.m., Monday, Aug. 3 at Bach-Yager Funeral Chapel with family receiving friends from 1 p.m. until time for the service. Burial at the Millersburg Baptist Cemetery in Millersburg will follow the service.
Everett was born in Oak Park, Illinois on Dec. 26, 1951, the son of Everett, Sr. and Helen McConnell Lindahl, and they preceded him in death. On Jan. 21, 1972, he married Sara Barbarick in Phoenix, Arizona. He served his country in the U.S. Marines from 1971 to 1974. Everett enjoyed working on his collections; bottle and key collections but most of all he was an avid coin collector. He was a member of the Coin Forum and a member of the Black Sheep Squad collectors. He also enjoyed his guns.
Everett is survived by his daughter, Shelley Pitts (Glen) of Jefferson City; and grandsons: Mark, Shawn and Matthew Pitts of Jefferson City.

Oh I'm sorry to hear about Butch. I remember him from Ben Franklin. Sorry we have lost yet another classmate.
