Education fund formed in memory of Howden Tiger exec

Tributes have been paid and an education fund formed in memory of James Matusiak, a former Bermuda resident and most recently a senior vice president at Howden Tiger, who passed away suddenly at the end of January.

Matusiak started his career at Allstate before later working as a senior underwriter at RenRe, chief actuary at PXRe and at KPMG. Before moving to Howden, he was at Guy Carpenter.

He leaves behind wife, Pam, and children Anna, Evelyn and Ian.

To support the children, the Matusiak Children's Education Fund has been set up, with funds to go into individual college saving funds for higher education expenses and tuition. The fund has the goal of raising $45,000. As of Friday February 10, the fund had reached some $35,000.
