Donald C. 'Butch' McCue

Butch McCue's favorite place to be was on Cape Cod…namely Popponesset. Anyone who has affection for the Cape knows once you're over the bridge on the other side of the canal it's the way life should be. The ocean, the beaches, nature and the company of family and friends was all Butch ever needed.
