Patrick Butler, reporter who wrote books on Chicago, dies
Briefly

"He was sort of the classic rumpled newspaperman who really followed the story without any ax to grind," said Dick Simpson, a former alderman and University of Illinois at Chicago political science professor."
Butler won a Peter Lisagor Award from the Chicago Headline Club in 1987 for a series that reported how the loss of factory jobs strains mental health and alcohol abuse services.
