Segal Mourns the Loss of Senior Vice President John Cotton
The Segal Company is deeply saddened to announce that John Cotton, Senior Vice President and member of the firm's Board of Directors, passed away suddenly on May 5, 2009. He joined Segal's Boston office in 1973 (his first job) as a consultant trainee and during his 36-year career, he served the company as a benefits consultant, office head, senior manager and member of the Board. John's expertise spanned the Company's businesses - he worked with clients and supervised staff members in the Multiemployer, Public Sector and Corporate markets as well as in the retirement and health practices.
John believed in rendering candid opinions and his ability to analyze complex financial issues was prized by all. He made innumerable contributions to our clients, the Company and his colleagues. John was deeply respected and loved by everyone he worked with even though he was a passionate and life-long Yankee fan in the midst of Red Sox nation.
John received a B.S. cum laude from American University and an M.B.A. in Finance from the Stern School of Business at New York University. He was a member of the Board of Directors and past-president of Temple Hillel B'Nai Torah in West Roxbury, Massachusetts. He is survived by his wife, Victoria and daughter Rachel.
