Donald M. Butler, age 83, of S. Weymouth passed away at home surrounded by his loving family on July 9, 2018. Don was born, raised, and educated in S. Boston. He served 6 years in the National Guard before joining the Army 82nd Airborne. Don married his wife of 58 years, Anne, before they shipped off together to be posted in Germany from 1958-1961.

Don retired from the local 12 Plumber’s union after almost 40 years. He enjoyed water skiing, sailing, and travelling with his wife but above all else Don was a dedicated family man who always made time to watch and partake in his children’s sports games and lives.
