Most anyone driving past the 400 block of west Mill street in Butler has seen this man who offers a friendly wave to each and every passer by, like clockwork, in the mornings on a sunny day. His name is Alonzo Smith and he was quite humbled when we stopped by today to get to know him better and told him of his celebrity status in social media circles.
Smith, 61, was born in Portland, Oregon and spent most of his adult life in Plano, TX before he retired from the TSA and found his "forever" home in Butler.
"People are so nice here" he said "Someone bought me this comfortable chair, and awhile back three fellows paid for my food at Gray's Cafe. I'm just doing what I like to do, and that's great."
For the record, Alonzo loves Strawberry Crush soda- you know, for those warmer days putting smiles on everyone who passes by.
