PUP mourns passing of Gilberto ‘Chico’ Gomez

By BBN Staff: The People’s United Party (PUP) Party Leader, John Briceño, Party Chairman, Henry Usher, and the National Executive of the PUP issued a statement extending sympathies on the passing of Gilberto ‘Chico’ Gomez.

Don Chico, as he was fondly known, is highly regarded as the Father of San Pedro Town and served as its first Mayor when the township was acquired in 1984.

Prior to the township, Don Chico served as the Village Chairman for many years.

Don Chico also served the San Pedro community in other prominent capacities.

He was the first Manager of the Caribena Fishing Cooperative established in 1963 and was a founding member of the Coral Beach Hotels, the pioneering group of local hoteliers on Ambergris Caye.

“Don Chico’s contribution to his community, his country, and his party will be remembered and cherished for generations to come. The PUP extends deepest condolences to the Gomez family especially to his wife Addy and his two children Sergio and Marlena,” the PUP said.
