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

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.

I am very sorry that I was unable to attend the funeral or the wake. He was a super guy, whose life is well work celebrating.

Sending my deepest condolences to the entire Butler family. I had the pleasure of working with Greg while at EMD Serono for over 3 years directly. What struck me was his humble nature and intellect along with being a very nice man. May God bless and surround you all.

My deepest sympathies to Greg's family. I had the pleasure of working for Greg his last 2 years at Edwards&Angell. I'll always remember his laugh and smile and how much he loved and was proud of his family. He was a true gentleman in every sense of that word.
May G-d bless you all in your time of sorrow.

Although Greg had a lot of nicknames, as a friend growing up, like Hoot, Butts, Doc, and Weasel; some other things always stayed the same. Like his sense of humor and his great laugh. Tina, Im sorry for your loss. God bless, Bob Wright

I got to know Greg during his first "round" at Serono years ago. When we were in Geneva together we always had a drink at the hotel bar and talked before turning in at night. It was a nice surprise to find out that he came back to the department years later. His passing is a shock, I will miss him. Condolences to the family.

I will miss my cousin whom I called 'Old Man' even though I am older than him. Always fun to be with him and Tina. I will never forget growing up on Dow Island. We had a very close family and were always together, all of the uncles and aunts and cousins. I remember teaching the Old Man how to hold his breath under water when we swam around the flat rock. I will never forget Ned's graduation from the Big Boat & Barge School and my daughter Caitlin's wedding where we all had a blast! Rest in peace Old Man - Love you!
