Don “Pudge” Palmer

Don “Pudge” Palmer ’81, a long-time employee of the Rosenthal Meat Center, passed away March 31, 2015 after a brief illness. He will be missed by all.

Don lived a servant’s life where he loved teaching and helping others. He truly cared for students and helped them in whatever they needed done. Don loved to tailgate during football season at the Rosenthal Meat Center, and he always was preparing food for the meat judging team workouts throughout the fall and spring. Food brings people together, and Don’s passion was making sure that everyone was well fed and taken care of.
