############ Décès – Orbituary ###########

Français :

Tristes nouvelles  :

C’est avec une extrême tristesse que nous vous annonçons la nouvelle du décès de Patrick Renoux, le 15 Août 2021 à l’âge de 68 ans. Il était Ingénieur géologue  de la promotion ENSG 1977, retraité depuis quelques années, après avoir effectué une belle carrière chez Geostock et à la CGG.

Extrêmement actif dans son métier de géoscientiste, auteur de nombreux articles et présent dans les Associations pour des présentations orales didactiques et techniques, il laisse le souvenir d’un professionnel de grande qualité.

Très érudit, éclairé et éclectique dans sa vision des cultures et des civilisations, ainsi qu’artiste-peintre à ses heures, Patrick était quelqu’un désireux d’apprendre sans relâche, d’une sorte d’envie jamais inassouvie, ainsi que de passionnant à rencontrer, à écouter, à voir ou à lire, sans se départir d’un humour constant sur les choses qui l’entouraient et sur les Hommes.

C’était aussi un grand fidèle de ses pairs Géoliens depuis sa scolarité (1974-1977) jusqu’à présent !

Il a été membre du Conseil d’Administration de la SAID de 2000 à 2005 , Vice–Président de 2002 à 2004 et il a assuré la présidence de la SAID  de mars à novembre 2002 suite à la démission de Henry Edmudson.

Il était camarade de promotion ENSG 1977 de  Sylvain Boyer et Jacques Delalex.
