JOHN BUTMAN Obituary

BUTMAN, John Campbell Of Portland, ME, age 69, died suddenly at home of natural causes on March 23, 2020. Surviving him are his adoring wife Nancy, his sons, Jeremy and Henry, and his siblings Marcia and Brad. A natural, vibrant storyteller, John loved the arts and believed in the goodness of people. He published seven books, including works of history, fiction, and satire. He founded two writing consultancies, notably Idea Platforms, Incorporated. John loved traveling, hiking, skiing, sailing, attending the theater or a baseball game. A devoted father and husband, an easy friend, all will miss his tremendous sense of humor and zeal for life. Arrangements are under the direction of the Conroy-Tully Walker Funeral Home, PORTLAND. To view John's memorial page, or to share an online condolence, please visit www.ConroyTullyWalker.com

Please accept my deepest sympathies. John and I co-created Concord Conscience for the Bicentennial, which launched both our careers. Many good memories. He'll be missed.

John wrote the best scripts I ever worked with when I was a producer. We must have shared the same outlook on corporate communications professional but taken with a five pound grain of salt and his wry sense of humor was a welcome relief. We became, if not quite friends, friendly and addressed each other as Mr. Butman and Mr. Prindle. And so, as they used to say in the old traveling shows, see you down the road, Mr. Butman.
