In a touching statement, Butler recalls visiting the star in his final hours with Dio’s wife Wendy and a huge group of pals.
He writes, "There was no mistaking Ronnie’s room. There were around 25 to 30 friends outside his room. We knew the end was imminent. We all want ed to say our goodbyes. It was a day filled with tears and reflection.
"In the evening, the chaplain came, and we all gathered around Ronnie’s bed and prayed. Ronnie wasn’t going easily. At 11pm, most of us left, le aving Wendy her privacy to say her last farewell. The devastation was pal pable." He concludes his tribute by thanking Dio "for the wonderful memories".
In recent years, Dio and Butler reunited with other ex-members of Black Sabbath to tour under the name Heaven & Hell.

SARAH JESSICA PARKER was given a shock upon arriving in Morocco to film t he SEX AND THE CITY sequel - none of the locals recognised the cast.
The four leading ladies shot scenes in the deserts of the African count ry - which doubled as Abu Dhabi in the movie - after producers failed to get filming permission from Dubai officials.
But Parker insists it was a hidden blessing they were unable to travel to the Middle East - because the production was completely undisturbed in Africa.
She tells Britain’s The Sun, "We were in a country that had no interest in us. It was our job to stay out of their way and be respectful of thei r turf. They were in the middle of their lives, jobs and work, so when we were in the market standing in front of their stalls it was our responsi bility to integrate into their lives.
"They had little or no interest in us and it was a virtue because it al lowed us to tell our story in an open environment and capture everything we wanted on screen."

In a post on her website, Monahan writes, "For anyone still scared of g oing to the police, I encourage you to do so.
"While, yes, you do have to go into every little detail, think of it as therapy. They’re there to help you.

Troubled country star MINDY MCCREADY is launching a legal bid to regain c ustody of her four-year-old son.
McCready’s mother, Gayle, won custody of Zander in 2007 after a fight w ith the singer over her drink and drugs demons.
It came just two years after the youngster’s father, Billy McKnight, wa s charged with attempted murder and served 30 days in jail in 2005 follow ing claims he beat and choked the singer. The case was later dismissed.
But now McCready wants her son back and is heading to a Florida court o n Wednesday afternoon (19May10) to reopen the custody case.
Her lawyer, Jim Moon, tells E! News that McCready has finally beat her addictions thanks in part to a stint on U.S. show Celebrity Rehab last ye ar (09) - and reality TV doctor Drew Pinsky has even written her a glowin g personal reference.
Moon says, "We wanted there to be no question that this case should be reopened and she should be reunited with her son. She needed to undergo a drug and alcohol evaluation, she needed to undergo a psychological asses sment to make sure she was a competent parent, she needed to undergo code pendency counselling… Everything she’s passed with flying colors.
"Naturally, I want Zander to go home with Mindy. Do I anticipate that’s going to happen tomorrow? Probably not. In all likelihood, she’ll be gra nted a month’s worth of unsupervised visits and overnight visits." (CL/WN

TWILIGHT star ASHLEY GREENE can’t understand why women fuss over co-star ROBERT PATTINSON when her other movie brother, KELLAN LUTZ, is the best-l ooking guy on set.
The actress admits she has never been attracted to Brit Pattinson, but has considered a romantic hook-up with Lutz and sometimes wishes they wer en’t such good friends - because they could be great real-life lovers.
She tells Seventeen magazine, "When I met Rob, I didn’t think twice abo ut him. He’s really attractive, but that chemistry wasn’t there.
"He gets a lot of attention from them (girls), but he doesn’t quite und erstand it because, before Twilight, he was just a guy from Harry Potter.
" Greene admits she has always had a soft spot for Lutz and when asked if she’s ever romanced the actor, she says, "I’ve definitely thought about it.
"(We’re) best friends… and filming together has made us even closer. He’s one of my best friends, but if we were going to be romantic, we woul d have done it years ago.
"I like having him to talk to about other guys to get that male perspec tive. I really cherish our relationship, so I wouldn’t want to mess that up by dating."
