He was baptized at St. Joseph Catholic Church in Jefferson. Cy attended Jefferson schools and graduated from Jefferson High School in 1943. On July 20, 1945, Cy married Beverly Doreen Gunion in Jefferson. Cy first worked for area farmers, and then for Friendly Foods Stores and Square Deal Grocery Stores for Ouren Goodrich. In 1960, Mr. Goodrich transferred the Butler family to Harlan, Iowa, where Cy served as the meat manager for Goodrich Grocery Store (later known as Olson's Grocery Store). Following the grocery store's closing, he was employed as a meat cutter at Jim's Wholesale Meats in Harlan. Cy later worked for Darwin Larsen at the Car Connection in Harlan. Cy's wonderful sense of humor showed through his sharing of smiles and jokes. Known to many as "The Candy Man", Cy was often seen walking around Harlan with his small dog, "Tina", handing out candy. The riding lawn mower he inherited from his father was his pride and joy, and he loved using it to give his grandchildren rides around the block. Family and friends were important to him and he treasured spending time with them. Cyril "Cy" T. Butler died on Wednesday, May 6, 2020, at his home in Harlan, Iowa. He had reached the age of 94 years, 10 months, and 10 days.
