(Monday - November
23, 2020) - Norman "Butch" P. Neuens, age 77, of Aurora, passed away on
Saturday, November 21, at his home.
Butch was born May 25, 1943,
in Iron Mountain, son of the late Clarence and Sophie (Skell) Neuens. He
grew up in Aurora and graduated from Florence High School, class of

'80s, Butch purchased Krans Feed and Supply and renamed it Butch Neuens
Lawn and Garden Center, which he operated for years before selling. He
continued his landscaping business until he retired in 2010. Butch was
proud of being one of the founders of Hope House in Iron Mountain, which
was a community outreach to many of the youth in the area.
He
enjoyed cooking and good food and especially liked eating and cooking
the fish that his friends would bring him. Butch will forever be
remembered by his family and friends for his hard work ethic and his
love for the Lord.

Salczenko of Homestead, Paul (Ayse) Salczenko of Florida, Robert (Lisa)
