Chester 'Butch' Paczewski

Join us in celebrating the life and legacy of Chester Paczewski, better known as Butch.  He was a Fishtown native,  born and raised by his mother the late Sophie Glinkowski  Paczewski at Belgrade and Susquehanna.  Butch loved music, cars and his family.  He had a kind heart and believed music could heal your soul.  He often would sing to you to lift your spirits.  Butch was devoted to his family. He often would pop in on family out of the blue just to say hi because he was just  in the area.  Butch was one of a kind.  An original 50's greaser, he loved to play his Doo Wop 45's and work on cars in his garage.  He was full of life and his legacy will live on forever after all, he is "Mr.Unforgettable "
