LifeStory

Luke Buttry

By Steve Buttry

Luke Buttry's story is told here primarily in the LifeTimeline. To view it, click "LifeTimeline" above. 

You can read/view in order, starting from before his birth and continuing to read about his impact beyond his death. Or you can browse, reading and viewing the entries that most interest you. Most entries include photos and/or documents relating to Luke's life. If you see a number in the lower right corner of a photo with an entry, that means you can see multiple photos or documents if you click on the photo. 

You may have your own memories, photos and/or documents to share. You can post them by clicking "add contribution" in the appropriate entry.

I am Luke's middle son, the primary author of this timeline. I call him "Luke" mostly in the timeline, because he won't be "Dad" to most readers, and I'd rather it be his story than mine. But in some contexts, it made sense to simply call him "Dad," so I used both.

Here's a map of Dad's life journey. It's also linked from the timeline, but wouldn't embed there:
