Todd Spangler NY Digital Editor Altice USA is making changes at the top: The cable operator announced that it has recruited Comcast veteran Dennis Mathew as CEO. Matthew takes over effective Oct. 3, assuming the CEO role from Dexter Goei, who has been named executive chairman of the board of directors. All of Goei’s direct reports will report to Mathew. Altice USA founder and current chairman Patrick Drahi will remain a director on the board. The No. 4 U.S. cable operator said it made the move to hire a new CEO “given Mr. Goei’s intention to return to Europe with his family.” Goei has worked for France’s Altice since 2009, leading the telecom company’s entry into the U.S. market through the acquisitions of Cablevision Systems and Suddenlink Communications, which now comprise Altice USA.

Maria, who has a son of her own, told the ECHO : "Mum had what's called early onset dementia, caused by Alzheimer's, which could be expected in your eighties, but she was in her sixties.
"She was diagnosed in her sixties but on reflection I think the signs were there before that. The disease is cruel in any scenario, but mum was highly intelligent and high functioning- that made it feel so much more cruel.
"She was really strong, really feisty. She was a widow so she did everything herself.
