KIRON SARKAR
Dear Readers,
It is with profound regret that I inform you all of the sad and very sudden passing of Kiron Chandra Sarkar on March 25th 2015. Kiron as you may know had returned with his wife Margaret to his beloved India and it is here that he passed away.
For those who knew Kiron well know that he was a go-getter and he loved nothing better than the cut and thrust of a new deal. Kiron was always up for a discussion on his latest project. Kiron was both a generous and social guy who loved nothing better than a good pint of Guinness with a cigarette, both of which he enjoyed till the end.
Kiron is sadly mourned by his beloved wife Margaret, his sister Sabita, his cousin Gita, sisters in law, brothers in law and a vast and varied selection of friends who held him in the highest of esteem.
R.I.P Kiron
Notes of condolences can be sent, if desired, to his family at the email address kiron@kironsarkar.com
Yet further bad US retail sales data. Chinese economy continues to slide.
