I HAD THE PLEASURE OF MEETING GEORGE THROUGH HIS DEAR FRIEND MENTIONED FROM OVERSEAS ... WHAT A LOVELY PERSON HE WAS FULL OF LIFE ..MY DEEPEST CONDOLENCE,S TO THE FAMILY

Always Remembered ......Never Forgotten

Hello Dr. Buttons, (as I always referred to you) After all this time, I still remember you as a wonderful, caring dr. You not only took care of me, you took great care of my daughters Joanna, Jessica and Jackii, and Howard also.
Had it not been for you, I might not be here today. You just about forced me to go and get a Mamo. I went and it was discovered I had not one, but two cancerous tumors. I had the surgery, & I have been in remission for six years. Glad I listened to you. Thank...

Well Dr. B, I was right about one thing for sure! I will never find a doctor, that could come close to taking your place . That's just on the medical end. As for you, the human being. Well there was only one of you. Your understanding kindness, and your ability to make a patient laugh, when they are sick. Is priceless.You have a heart of gold and a sincere kindness,that will never go unremembered. You were and will always be, the best of the best. Thank you for keeping me healthy all...

Dr. Button was a wonderful person as a doctor and as a man. George was a doctor who clearly put the health and well-being of his patients before anything else. He was instantly likable. That's why he had so many friends and admirers. He is and will always be missed.

So sad for THE Family and Friends involved with Dr.B and Maureen. Someone who was there for so many and in the end left us with so many memories. A nice nice man we shall remember with many happy events and special occasions.

Dr. Button was my doctor for 34 years. He was the most understanding Doctor, and absolutely the best of the best. Oh, how I we I all will miss you.

George taught me many things in my life for which I'm grateful, not the least of which was how to make an amazing bloody mary from scratch. He gave me my two other sisters, Laura and Beth, whom I love dearly. And later he gave me Mel and Jeff. And Montana. And so much more. To quote my three-year old brother, "I love Jotch. I reeeeaaaallly do."

I don't have much to say,except I am truly saddened by his passing we knew him what seems like a lifetime and that era of George and the gang is over those of us that knew him will always smile remembering him few men leave such a legacy .
