I only had the privilege of chatting with Dr. Butte once at a retreat my department held. He was such a nice human being and always had a huge smile on his face. His accomplishments are mind-blowing and yet, he was so humble. I will always remember the story he shared at that retreat about his first job…he would charge his schoolmates 25 cents to solve their Rubik’s Cube after they would mix it up beyond repair! That goes to show his brilliant mind was made to problem-solve from a young age. This is a great loss for our UCSF Community and far beyond. Peace and blessings to his family.
