Eric Gardner Butterfield

To the entire Butterfield family. I count myself very fortunate to have known Eric during my career at GE. From my time as a GE field engineer in the mid-90's to my time as a direct report under his leadership while he was at Bently Nevada. I owe Eric a great debt for all his mentorship and guidance. Eric had all of the great qualities of a true leader and was not just some vacuous ladder climbing GE executive. He had a gifted way to communicate to people, taking the time to listen to...

Rick, I am so sorry for the loss of your son. My sincere condolences to all of Eric's family,

Shocked and so sad to hear. Some great memories. I'm sure the RIT guys are sharing stories as we speak... Wishing peace for his family.

To Rick and the entire Butterfield family. I am so sorry for your loss. Eric sounded like a wonderful Man who accomplished so much in such a short time. May he rest in peace for all of eternity and may he look down from Heaven and watch over the rest of his beautiful Family. Amen

Rick and Donna, hearing about Eric from Lori and Hayden today, as well as reading about him on the net tells me that he was an extraordinary individual. Also a testament to you both as parents. may you find peace that he is now in a better place, free of pain. RTIP Eric.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Roberta, the girls, and the rest of the family. I had the pleasure of working with Eric at GE. His intelligence was only eclipsed by his humbleness. Sincerely, Dale & Nicole Davis

Dear Rick and family,

We are so sorry to hear of Eric's passing. May he Rest In Peace and God Bless!
