Anthony (Tony) Domenick Butte, 95, of Palm Beach Gardens, FL, a longtime Greenwich resident, passed away suddenly on May 20, 2021 from complications of a stroke. Born Nov. 29, 1925 in Port Chester, NY, he was the son of the late Domenick and Rose Buttiglione. He married Lucie Roina in 1948 and together they lovingly raised four children in Greenwich.

After his honorable discharge from the Navy in 1946, Tony went on to study Accounting at Iona College. He worked in accounting and finance positions for various corporations for over 35 years and served as Vice President of Finance for Long Island College Hospital before retiring in 1982. Tony loved his family more than anything else in the world. In his nearly 40 years of retirement, Tony enjoyed golf, travel, good food, and spending time with his family.

Tony was predeceased by his wife of 56 years, Lucie who died in 2004 and his daughter Trisha who died in 2020. He is survived by three children, daughter Jeri Gerpe of Palm Beach Gardens, FL and sons Anthony J. Butte of Atlanta, GA and John T. Butte of Wellington, FL. In addition, he is also survived by eight grandchildren and eleven great-grandchildren.

As one of his children would often say, “he had a great run,” living independently, driving a car, and swinging his golf clubs right up until the time of his death.

There will be a private service for immediate family only.
