Butler Derrick

To the Butler family:

I live in South Carolina's 3rd District. I wasn't much into politics back when your loved one was representing the district. So, I don't remember him. But, I am sending my sympathy to you.

Sincerely,

Lavonia Williams

We regret to hear of Butler's passing. He was a true patriot and friend to all of us, especially to Jim in Washington in the 70s. Praying for your family during this time of loss. Mrs. James R. Mann "Virginia" and Family.

To the Derrick family, I am truly sorry for your loss. The family was blessed with years of special mightiness Psalm 90:10. May your hearts be filled with joyful memories of time spent with him as you remember a life well lived. May the hearer of Prayer bring you strength, and peace in your time of sorrow.

I had the pleasure of working for Congressman Derrick in the Summer of 1976 between my first and second year of law school. He was an exceptional legislator and a Southern Democrat in the very best sense of the term. I admired him very much.

My deepest sympathy to his family for this loss.

Sarah Ella joins me in expressing our deepest sympathy for our life long friend who we loved and admired Walter Lawson .

It seems like a smaller world with the death of my lifelong friend Butler. From Cub Scouts through college we stayed in touch from time to time. The last time that I saw him was in his Congressional office in Washington. Before he entered political office and throughout his life Butler was a wonderful, kind and caring person. My sympathy to his family, his wife and Mary Scott, Rita and Scott and his children, grandchildren and nieces and nephews. I will grieve with you.

My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
