Alfred Rood Butler, 65, passed away peacefully at home in Wilton, CT on June 24, 2016, surrounded by his loving family.

Fred was born in Manchester, CT, graduated from Eastern Connecticut State University and served as a member of the Army National Guard.  He made a career in the insurance industry for 43 years and was a partner in the Pierson & Smith Agency which was recently acquired by First Niagara.
