Trivia

Surprisingly, he was not, as he grew up in Tisdale, Saskatchewan which had a very small population (3000) and his family was very large, and many businesses and services in the town were run by his family, so the name was well known in the town. Several businesses in Tisdale still carry the "Butt" name.

Was born the same day comedian Lenny Bruce died (August 3, 1966).

Uncle of Mike Butt.

He dislikes seafood. He says, "I don't mind fish...some fish. But lobsters and crabs and sea monkey and squid...no.".
