It is with great sadness that I inform the Ithaca College community of the death of Rob Meunier, program coordinator at the Ithaca College Pendleton Center in Los Angeles.
Rob passed away earlier this week at his home in Los Angeles, CA after a year-long battle with brain cancer.
Rob joined the Pendleton Center in 1999 as assistant to the director and was promoted to program coordinator in 2002. Over his seven years at the LA Center, Rob became a mentor and a friend to the hundreds of students who passed through his program; they always came back to Ithaca with fond memories of and great stories about their interactions with him.
If you've had the opportunity to meet or work with Rob directly, you know what a model of wit, charm and generosity he was -- as sharp and funny as he was kind and thoughtful. Steve Tropiano, director at the Ithaca College Pendleton Center described him very eloquently yesterday: Rob was a real gentleman.
Steve has been in touch with Rob's family, and we will share the details of the arrangements as we receive them.
