Penn State Mont Alto is mourning the passing of Robert H. Rumler, a former chairman and long-time member of the Penn State Mont Alto Advisory Board. He died at his home on Jan. 11.
“I feel very fortunate to have known Bob over the past eight years,” said Chancellor David C. Gnage. “My life has been personally enriched by the advice and counsel he has provided during my tenure at Mont Alto.”
Gnage and former Penn State Mont Alto CEO Corrine Caldwell agree Bob has made a very positive impact on the development of the campus.
“Bob has left an indelible legacy on Penn State Mont Alto,” said Gnage. “We will miss him.”
A 1936 graduate of Penn State's College of Agricultural Sciences, Rumler devoted the majority of his career to guiding the destiny of the Holstein Association in Battleboro, Vt. He was named a distinguished alumnus by Penn State in 1978 and he was honored as a distinguished fellow by the campus in 2004 during its 100-year anniversary celebration.
