Brian P. Butz

Dr. Butz was one of my professors and I remember him as a dedicated teacher who really wanted us to think and learn. I am so sorry for your loss. He was a really nice man and the amazing gift that he and Susan have given to the Temple's College of Engineering will continue his legacy impacting students.

Dr. Butz has done great things for Temple students. For me personally, his scholarship helped me continue my studies in software engineering. Today, I am a software engineer building AI tools at a well-known investment company. I send his family my deepest condolences

It was back in 1990 when Brian started teaching graduate courses on artificial intelligence at Temple at the time other universities were lagging behind. Brian received multiple research grants from the National Science Foundation and Boeing Helicopters on AI and its applications. Although Brian's research laid the foundation, the research community had to wait another 30 years to bring AI applications to everyday life.

On a personal level, I have known Brian since 1986 when I...

Dear Susan. I remember you and Brian fondly, from our days at the PD support group. I will be in touch soon.

Really only got to know Brian and his wife Susan over the last few years. Appreciated his humor, thoughtfulness and commitment to education and research. I will miss our conversations. With his wife Susan Brian advanced collaborations between social work and engineering and new approaches to the support of Parkinson's disease and of family members providing care and support. The work Susan and Brian helped begin will continue and my thoughts are with Susan at this time.
