Our heartfelt condolences to Butchie´s family. He was truly apart of mine. Anytime he went missing from St David´s he came to our house near Trimingham Hill. We stopped whatever we were doing to feed and entertain him. He bought such joy. I´m so sorry I didn´t get to see him the last time I was here. A genuine human being we all could take valuable lessons from him. Rest peacefully my darling. You truely deserve it. Say hi to Jack and Dolly for us.
Know for sure you were loved!

Condolences to the family of "Budie", he was quite a character for sure,would do anything for his beloved club (St David´s) and the greater community as well. Budie had his way, but if he liked you etc, you could count on his support/help at any time. I briefly lived in St David´s (up Beverley Hills) lol, and Budie knew I was a Baileys Bay supporter at eastern counties. When I told him I was gonna put up a red n white flag, I was promptly warned by him, "" go head put it up and we bies gonna paulk your (so n so). He never did and I never put up the flag . I had great times interacting with Budie, oh the things he´d come out with lol. I smile when I think back to those times R.I.P. ol pal.
How you can show support

I am remembering when I went to Tech. and Budie went to Frendship Vale.
We rode the same Bus to and fro, and Mrs, Paynter sent her John to school 'Buffed'. I mean from head to toe. We had many, many interactions on our bus rides, to many to mention.
fast foward to, 'Check her, she's like a Lobsta'' the rest is good memories of our growing up together.
'Nuff Love' my cousin, friend, and brother, 'Bubba',,,,

To: The Paynter Family,
We are deeply saddened by the loss of John (Bully). His passing has brought sorrow to all who knew him.
We cherish the treasured memories of growing up with John in the neighborhood. The times we spent together, especially during the hot summer months, are unforgettable. As community kids, we would gather at the Black Horse public dock, enjoying our vacation days swimming, fishing, and skylarking. These moments were filled with fun and laughter, and they remain permanently etched in our minds as some of the most pleasant and enjoyable times of our youth.
We often saw John sitting on the wall at the keep left road junction. He always greeted us with a friendly and good-humored manner. His courteous and respectful nature left a lasting impression on everyone he met. Our memory of him will endure forever, and with his loss, we feel as though a piece of our St. David´s Island history has gone.
We are truly sorry for your loss. We hope that the love and support of family and friends will comfort and strengthen you in the days ahead.
You are in our thoughts and prayers.
