On behalf of your friends at UWM, my deepest condolences go out to the Kaltenmarks and the entire Butler community. Blue II always brought a smile to my face each time I saw that lovable mug on TV. See you on the other side of the Rainbow Bridge … I’m sure you are over there telling some great stories of your travels already.

Blue II’s birthday/retirement party was during my kids spring break from school. We all piled in the car & made the hour trek to BU campus.

The picture I attached is from that day. RIP Blue II – we will miss…

I met Blue when my husband and I crashed the alumni party in Nashville before the Butler/VANDY game on the #BIGDAWGTOUR. My husband and I AREN’T alumni!! My phone doesn’t ring, it “barks”! I joined Twitter to keep up with Blue and ButlerMBB. Oh, you will be missed but never forgotten. Comforted by the fact you can now breathe easy; AND, there are NO baths in Heaven!

While at Butler, I was far away from home and my best friend (Cobi). Everytime I saw Blue on campus it brought such a sense of comfort and happiness to my day.
