Stephen and Family
I was so sorry to hear of the loss of your dad. I haven't seen him or you in years , but have the fondest memories of working with you guys. I was away on business when I heard of his passing, and unable to pay my respects. But you are all in my prayers. Butch was one of the those bosses that you wish you had forever. I know he was a great dad and will be missed. Ken Torreggiani

To The Paino Family ,Stephan and Debbie ou will remember me. Cristine you are probably too young to remember me. I worked for your family from 1979-1981. I have had the privilege and honor to stand toe to toe with with your father and grandfather as an employee of Paino's Mobile.
I shared with Butch(we called him Butchie behind his back)18 years ago at a friends wedding that he is responsible for many of the friendships in this room. Your family not only ran a business that was a cornerstone of our community they gave a home to many of wayward wannabe mechanic. I left Wappingers many years ago but I know that Butch and Vinny senior are smiling today because not only have they raised a respectable family but they have affected the life's of several respectable men.
Those of us that knew Butch knew were he learned his life lessons.
The Town of Wappingers has lost an Icon.
With Respect and gratitude

Steven, Debbie, and family. I was very sorry to hear about your Dads passing. We had a lot of memories hanging out at your Dads mobil station back in High School. Butch was great to us always, and was a true gentleman.

Steven, Debbie, Christine and Nancy, your mom Carol is my cousin as is your Uncle Tom. I remember when your mom and dad were married many years ago. Donna and I had your mom and dad to dinner at our house in Hyde Park on two occasions. Both parents were wonderful people and will be missed. I can picture your mom clearly. I remember how much your dad loved good Italian meals. My deepest sympathies - it was sad news when we heard of his passing.

Carol Ann was my cousin (her father Dominic and my father Alex are brothers). I haven't seen Butch in many years, but always liked him. He always greeted me with a friendly hello and was interested in how I was and what I was doing. My thoughts and prayers are with the entire Paino family.

To the Paino Family,
I didn't know Butch that well but what I did know was how much love he had for his and my granddaughters Breanna and Emma. He made many trips to Florida for birthdays and first days of school and for other special occasions. He gave them many happy memories. They told me that he is in their hearts and watching over them. Little by little you will begin to remember not just that he died but that he lived. And that his life gave you memories too beautiful to forget. With deepest sympathy.
