Mathew Gosselin
September 7, 1955 — October 16, 2022
Mathew Gosselin Sr. (John), 67 years old, of Pelham New Hampshire, passed away on Sunday October 16, 2022. He passed away at home after battling various medical conditions.
Mat was born on September 7, 1955, to parents Raoul and Marrie Gosselin, in Methuen, MA. He grew up with three siblings, Martin, Mark & Mandy Gosselin. He had a rocky childhood including a stint in reform school, something he often talked about as he overcame these obstacles to become a loving sibling, husband, father and extremely successful businessman.
Mat had extensive community citizenship. They included Vice President of Government Relationship for the Chamber of Commerce in Haverhill, MA, Board of Directors for Big Brothers/Big Sisters and Board of Directors for the Merrimack Valley Manufacturing Partnership (NIST Program). Among his recognitions was an honorary degree, businessman of the year and was a non-commissioned officer in the United States Marine Corps.
During the 1970’s and 80’s Mat was a plant manager at age 23 and owned his first circuit board shop at the age of 27. His involvement in new development as technology progressed was supplemented by many printed circuit board companies as a beta site for product advancement.
Mat has owned and consulted with several dozen US board shops. One of his most successful achievements was founding Circuit Board Express, which was listed as the 48th hottest new small business in America by Entrepreneur Magazine in June/1996. Circuit Board Express was an innovator in quick turn introducing a consistent 24-hour turn to the industry, almost unheard of at the time.
Mat had a long battle with cancer but eventually did beat it, he refused to quit and had some good years after that, particularly helping his son Mat Jr. start his own circuit board business that is flourishing thanks in large part to his assistance. The circuit board world is a small one, Mat Sr. is known as a trailblazer and legend in the industry.
In addition to his wife of 38 years Kathy Gosselin and son Mathew Gosselin Jr., Mat is survived by his brother Martin Gosselin and Patty of Methuen, MA, sister Amanda Gosselin/Hinton and Edgar of SC, Brother-in-Law Donald Greenwood and Michele of NM, Kevin Greenwood and Jodi of Pelham, NH, Patrick Greenwood and Kathryn of Salem, NH, as well as several nieces, nephews, cousins, aunts and uncles. He was preceded in passing by his parents Raoul and Marrie Gosselin along with his brother Mark Gosselin.
A Funeral Mass will be held on Thursday, October 27th @ 10:00 AM at the St. Patrick’s Church on Main Street in Pelham, NH. In lieu of flowers donations can be made in his memory to the Dana Farber Cancer institute, danafarber.jimmyfund.org.
