Send Flowers to the Family Offer Condolences or MemoryGERALD (BUTCH) DIXON BUFFIE It is with great sadness to announce the sudden passing of my beloved husband Butch on August 17, 2017 at the age of 73. Butch is survived by his loving wife of 25 years, Peggy, his beloved fur babies, Shorty and Luckie, brother Bill (Sharon), sister Joan, father-in-law Joe Shushkewich, brothers-in-law, Jim (Linda), Wayne, and Joe Jr. (Tina, Dustin), and numerous nieces and nephews. Butch was born and raised in Winnipeg, MB on July 19, 1944. Butch served in the Vietnam War during 1968 to 1971 with the American Army. He was a member of the Vietnam Veterans of America Chapter 374, a member of the Prince Edward Legion Branch 81 in Winnipeg. Butch also worked for the City of Winnipeg for over 30 years. I would like to express my sincerest thanks to everyone for their support during this time. As per Butch's wishes, there will be no service as cremation has taken place. Rest in Peace until we meet again. Love you always and forever Peggy.

5 years later, not sure if anyone will check this, but for the millionth time I thought of Joan today and wondered if there was any way to find out how she was. 4 summers from 1992-1995 I worked with her at Cadham lab and have never forgot her. She loved to blab, so I definitely heard of brother Butch many times. If anyone who knows Joan sees this, please pass my best wishes along; I have many fond memories of talking about her family, the 6/49, 'beating hearts' and 'blackouts'. I bring up the last 2 not to make fun, but hoping to hear her heath has been better and she has been having a nice retirement. My late condolences to a brother who she spoke very well of. - Posted by: Russ Hodgson (none) on: May 14, 2022
