Obituary for Maurice L Butler
CHELMSFORD- Maurice L. Butler, 83, longtime resident of Chelmsford, died peacefully March 24, 2016 at his home surrounded by his loving family. He was the beloved husband of the late Patricia A. (Faircloth) Butler who died on June 30, 2010. They shared 59 years of loving marriage.
Maurice was born in Lumberton, NC on June 10, 1932 and was the son of the late Orville M. and Bertha E. (Norton) Butler.

He was employed by RCA as an engineer and was a part of the Rendezvous Radar on the Lunar Module that landed on the moon. He was later employed by Raytheon in Andover and worked in both the Hawk and Patriot Missile Programs, until his retirement.
Maurice had many hobbies but really enjoyed photography and gardening. He loved his neighbors and enjoyed having neighborhood parties. Above all, he cherished and loved his family deeply.

Courcy of Greene, ME; his sister Syvon Hills of Las Vegas, NV; his seven grandchildren, Jason P. Butler, Rich R. Boisvert and his wife Tina, Kara M. Boisvert, Christopher L. Butler and his fiancé Jennifer Robin, Ashlyn P. Lord and her husband Nathan, Rik W. Courcy, and Evan R. Butler; as well as many dear friends and neighbors.
