Allan Louis “Butch” Case
October 29, 1944 - January 11, 2021
Allan Louis “Butch” Case, age 76, of Salisbury, MD, formerly of New Castle, DE, passed away on Monday, January 11, 2021, the same day as his wife, Bertha C. “Cathy” (Ingram) Case.
Born in Norfolk, VA on October 29, 1944, he was a son of the late Harry S. and M. Frances (Woolf) Case. Sergeant First Class Case served his country in the U.S. Army for two decades, including three tours in Vietnam, receiving the Bronze Star Medal. Butch earned his associate degree in business from Cecil Community College in MD.
He was a member of St. Andrews United Methodist Church, and served as treasurer of VFW Meuse Post #194, both in Salisbury, MD. Butch enjoyed visits to the Ocean City boardwalk and Assateague Island with his wife. An avid boater, he was a member of the Coast Guard Auxiliary. Other hobbies included fishing and attending air shows. More than anything, Butch loved spending time with his grandchildren, children, and pet cats.
He is survived by his children, Tina M. Case and Billy David (Dezaree Canavin), both of Elkton, MD; sisters, Georgia K. Combs (William) of Sebastian, FL and Karen Losey of Clayton, NC; grandchildren, Merriah (Bobbi), Ashley, Michael, Anthony, Brandy (William), Katie, and Megan; and great grandchildren, Jacoby and Aiden.

Anyone who met my Dad was a friend for life, If you were really lucky you became family. I know I was and did. I may not have been blood but you adopted me and that alone makes me your daughter. You served your country and that was one thing you were most proud of. So many people have reached out as strangers that are now friends. I promised you we’d take care of everything and now your in heaven smiling down still making moms tea. I know you welcomed her free from wires and tubes free from pain and into your loving arms. Give everyone a hug up there for me….until we meet again your loving daughter. Tina

Allan and Cathy were dear friends and Allan my military Brother. We enjoyed Army Transportation Reunions together for the past 12 years. I enjoyed meeting some of their family at these reunions and some of the guys and myself adopted their grand-son Mike. We will all miss them very deeply. There is such a big hole in our hearts now and always. RIP dear friends and God bless and comfort the family.
