I was very sorry to hear about Greg and sorry that I was unable to see Rick and the family in person to express my condolences. I remember Greg a a very young man and through anecdotes from his mom and dad. I know they were very proud of his accomplishments but more importantly of the man and father he had become. May good memories help you through difficult times.Sincerely, Deb Hartnett Graff

I just found out about Greg's passing and want to extend my heartfelt condolences to the entire family. My parents were best friends with Greg's parents, Ann and Eddie, and Greg and I were in the same year at school. I have fond memories of all the Butlers. Rest in peace Greg.

Greg was simply a great person.
He worked with me as a patent attorney for a number of years at Edwards & Angell and succeeding firms. He was a joy to work with and a stellar patent attorney. He had a wonderful way of getting along with people and keeping clients happy. He was always very up-beat and calm in the face of the usual crises.
I was very sorry to lose him when he went to Corning, but I had to agree with him that it would be good for his family.
