Gill- Edward “Butch” L. Margola, 71, died Thursday 4/5/18 at home.  He was born in Greenfield on August 25, 1946, the son of Julian and Stella (Milewski) Margola.  Ed attended local schools in Greenfield and was a graduate of Greenfield High School Class of 1964.  Ed continued his education and graduated from the University of Massachusetts in Amherst with a Bachelor’s Degree in Accounting.  He was a Certified Public Accountant since 1973, in private practice in Greenfield for his entire career, much of it with his family.  He served as Treasurer of the Country Club of Greenfield for many years, he was Chairman of the Board at Greenfield Savings Bank, and was named the Treasurer of the Greenfield Education Foundation.  A life long golfer, he bravely took up downhill skiing in his 60s, he loved catch-and-release fly fishing and travelled multiple times to New Zealand and Canada to fish.
