Just to Let you all know that my long time friend, 46-47 years Butch Keegan, K9Hotrodder on this site has passed away. Butch had been battling emphysema for many years. About a week ago his kidneys shut down and he passed yesterday. I’ll get more details on Thursday at the wake. Butch was not only a good guy but a great friend, drag racer, hot rodder, partier, I meet Butch in the mid 70s when he was the president of the Long Island Chevy owners association and I was the president of the Long Island Rod and Custom association. Our two clubs would collaborate on many projects together Race days, Car Shows, swap meets, cruise nights, parties, drive in movie nights, concerts, awesome Christmas parties, etc. Some of the best days of my life. I would eventually join the Chevy owners association and the good times just accelerated from there. Butch would throw a 4th of July party every year that lasted for two days, two kegs floating and many beer runs, bands, and lots of friends, he had a large yard with a car corral filled with cars/hot rods. Beyond the back yard was a corn field that the owner would let us use to shoot off fire works. In the morning the field looked like a bomb went off. We would pick up the bodies, a bloody Mary and it was on again. sorry for the rant he will be missed.
Butch was a Great person. Did not know him personally, but we talked on this web site often. Butch always remembered peoples Birthdays.
He was going through, some serious health problems. Last he told me, he was OK. RIP Butch.
