Alfred Frank "Butch" Mori

Alfred Frank “Butch” Mori, 87, of Tall Timbers, Maryland, formerly of Hillside and Clinton, Maryland, passed away peacefully on March 9, 2026, surrounded by his family.

Born in Washington, D.C., on November 9, 1938, to Alfred Mori and Florence White, Butch grew up playing football at Suitland High School. He began his career as a steamfitter apprentice and remained a proud, lifelong member of Steamfitters Local 602. For more than forty years he was locally known for driving the “Chev Wagon” alongside his brother Gene as part of Mori Brothers Racing. On August 10, 1957, he married the love of his life, Joyce. Their 68-year marriage was filled with the joy of raising three children—Deb, Rick, and Ray—in their Clinton home.

Butch found simple, lasting pleasures in time spent with family and friends, playing cards, solving puzzles, repairing anything that needed fixing, eating peanuts, savoring his nightly scoop of ice cream at 8 p.m., and sharing afternoons with loved ones over a bushel of Maryland blue crabs.

He was preceded in death by his parents and his brother Gene. Butch is lovingly remembered by his wife, Joyce Mori; his sister, Ida Finch; his children, Deb White (Michael), Rick Mori, and Ray Mori (Shuryl “Doody”); six grandchildren, George White (Ashley), Tony Mori, Michael Mori, Mindi Finamore (Kara), Rob White (Ian), and David Mori; and three great-grandchildren, Camille White, Vincent Finamore, and Carmine Finamore. A wide circle of extended family and friends will also miss him dearly.
