Butch was born November 19, 1937, in New Ulm, the ninth of 10 children, to William P. and Anastasia (Hillesheim) Domeier. He served in the Army National Guard; worked for Wearwell Garment Company and then Kraft Foods for 30 years. He was a parishioner of the Church of St. Mary, where he was an usher for many years and often helped with meeting various parish needs, such as bleaching and staining the cross over the altar, the woodwork in both the sacristy and the rectory, and the “Mon.Senior gardeners.” His hobbies included fishing, camping, travelling, working on the family tree, playing cards and other games, but especially, spending time with his beloved wife and family. His children and grandchildren enjoyed his humor, the games he played with them, his love of music of all kinds, and his Friday “refrigerator leftover” hash dishes! He was an incredible example of a man, father husband and friend, who always had a smile on his face, was humble and kind. He shared this with all so that we may continue to spread love in his memory.
