Farewell to a great friend.
Walter Curtis Butler, Jr., our esteemed Commissioner for the past 25 years passed away last August 1st after a long illness. We will always remember Mr. Butler's sense of justice, his love for his community, his dedication to his constituents, his warmheartedness and his strength of character. This strength of character, as well as an unwavering optimism kept his spirits high during the trying times of his illness. He never neglected his duties as public servant, participating at Board meetings and functions whenever his health permitted. Mr. Butler will go down in Morgan County's history as an example of loyalty, service, and dedication. He will be sorely missed.
