Some kind words said about Peter Butterworth said on CEO's Facebook page:

'Peter was a real mensche. A friend. He was an improbably good guy, the gentle giant. He was a star athlete. Women were always hitting on him. He never had any gripes about his situation because he recognised his lot was privileged. He refused to fight in Vietnam and was subsequently jailed for it. He humbly worked as a nurse in a psychiatric hospital because he gave a shit. He wrote tirelessly book after book because he was passionate about raising his and the consciousness of others. Even when I was being an arsehole he wasn't phased and showed patience beyond what is normal. His interest in the world about him and knowledge of geopolitical issues meant that he was a truly righteous American. He said, "The world is on fire but we must do what we can." Always had something good to say. Measured and mature. He died tragically, penniless and foresaken, every day thinking, this is the day my credit cards arrive. His body lay on the side of the road from 2am till 10am despite the call to the cops. He had the pains on Saturday, that he attributed to stress, and died from a heart attack on the Monday. He did not drink. He was better than most but never showed any conceit. Vale Peter Butterworth.'

RIP
