ITNAmerica mourns the passing of Dr. Robert Butler, gerontologist, psychiatrist, public servant, Pulitzer-Prize winning author and valued member of the ITNAmerica Advisory Council. He recently walked with our Founder and President Katherine Freund around Central Park as she trained for her 24 Hour Walk for Rides:

“My walk through Central park with Dr. Butler was the highlight of my trip. I cannot tell you how generous and charming he was to me; I will never forget it. I owe him a lot. He is a man I will always remember.”

Dr. Butler died Sunday in Manhattan. He was 83 and had worked until three days before his death. The cause was acute leukemia, his daughter Christine Butler said. Read the New York Times obituary.
