Joyce and family. I am so sorry for your loss. The last time I saw Ray he told me I had a lot of my Dad in me. He was one of the few people around that still remembered Dad. I was glad he could see the resemblance.
You are all in my thoughts and prayers.

Thoughts and prayers go out to the Papin family in this difficult time. Our visits to my Uncle Buds farm each time we were in New York were very special. We always looked forward to the wonderful stories he had to tell. I often said he should write a book. He was a very special man and I know he will be truly missed by his family and friends.
Charles Luffman
Luffman Family of Arkansas: Please know our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. Uncle Bud was a fine man and we will always remember him with laughter. He was Charlieboy’s cousin, his uncle, then back to his cousin, but always our friend. (you figure it out) We have fond memories of visiting the FARM and everybody there (never knew who was going to be there). Of course had to stay for a little something to eat. Of course it was usually something pretty big and GOOD). We send all of our love to all of you: JOYCE, Pete,Ted, Rhonda and any one else we have forgotten’) We will never forget Uncle Bud.
