Condolences from the President to the family of René Mathon
October 17, 2018"I learned with great sadness of the death of our friend René Mathon. I am very sorry for the members of his family, his wife and children, his grandson, and offer them the heartfelt condolences of each of the members of the territorial council of Saint-Martin.
René was a companion and a loyal friend to many here. His investment in serving our economy was exemplary, first as a well-known and recognized merchant and jeweler with his Carat brand, then as an active member of the CCISM and president of the Marigot merchants' association in which he was heavily invested. René Mathon distinguished himself by his professional dynamism and his long-term involvement in serving the Saint-Martin economy. We will also remember his extreme kindness and the always special attention he paid to each of his interlocutors. Saint-Martin was the island of his heart, an island that he loved and served with all his energy. René will always be in our hearts and in our thoughts.
On behalf of the Territorial Council of Saint-Martin and in my own name, I renew my sincere condolences to the family and loved ones.
Daniel Gibbs
President of the Territorial Council
