The Milford Youth Center would like to thank MyFM Media for selecting Jen Ward, Director of the Milford Youth Center, as the recipient of the 2021 Butch Moore “You Touched Upon My Life” Award. A small event was held at the radio studio to celebrate the award, which included members of the MyFM Media team (President Tom McAuliffe II, Ray Auger and Dick Ferrucci, Megan McAuliffe, John Wilbur, Sue Grady), Senator Ryan Fattman, State Rep. Brian Murray, Town Administrator Rick Villani and members from Jen’s family, friends and Youth Commission!
Butch Moore was a local singing legend that toured throughout Ireland, Europe, and the United States, initially with The Capitol Showband and later with his wife Maeve as the famed singing duo, Butch and Maeve. His signature song, “You Touched Upon My Life,” spoke volumes about a man that had touched the lives of so many around him with his music, his smile, his generosity, and his big heart. With Butch’s passing in early 2001, WMRC-First Class Radio created this award in his honor.
Past recipients of the Butch Moore “You Touched Upon My Life” Award include: Kevin Meehan, Billy Hood, Linda Varney, Judge Francis & Virginia Larkin, Senator Richard T. Moore, Dr. Michael Fitzpatrick, Tony & Virginia Brenna, Chris Morcone, Gina Oliva-Tarolli, Tom McGovern, Paul Surapine, The Kimball Family, the Ellis Family, Justine Brewer, Frank & Wendy Saba, and Tony Khoury, John Fernandes, the Tinio Family, Julie Atherton and Jennifer Walsh.
The official award presentation took place at 9AM on St. Patrick’s Day, March 17th live from the MyFM Studio’s. For the award announcement from MyFM Media, click here. For more photos of the event, click here.
