Butch was much loved by the people who shops at Padgett's. My husband (Richard) and me (Corky) looked forward to seeing him most every day there. We always hugged,talked and laughed when all of us were there together. He will be missed and we just wanted his family to know that we loved him and are praying for each of you.
