Born in Newark, Butch lived in Millburn for many years before moving to Florham Park in 2014. He worked as a shop steward for Non-Fluid Oil, and later for American Art Stone prior to his retirement ten years ago. Upon his retirement, he began service to King's Supermarket in Short Hills in their dairy department, a position he enjoyed until retiring again in December of 2024.

Butch loved to cook, and his family appreciated having their very own Gordon Ramsay around the house. When he wanted to be the one served, Butch could be found at Godfather's Restaurant enjoying their great food among better company. An avid fan of the New York Yankees and the New York Rangers, he was a longtime season ticket holder.

Butch was the beloved husband of Elaine Ann Conklin Casey; loving father of Liam Patrick Casey and dear stepfather of Vinson Joseph Conklin. He is also survived by his cherished sister Eileen Casey; his nephew Michael Morse and his wife Theresa; God-Daughter Ariana Rose; and by many other loving nieces and nephews.

Butch's favorite cause was Til Valhalla Project: No Heroes Left Behind. In lieu of flowers, you are invited to support them by visiting their website at www.tilvalhallaproject.com.
