ONEONTA—Patrick H. Meanor, a long-term professor of remarkable distinction, lost his battle with brain cancer on March 14, 2024 at Chestnut Park in Oneonta.
Pat grew up in Elyria, Ohio, receiving his bachelor's degree from John Carroll University and both his master's and doctoral degrees from Kent State University.
Dr. Meanor began his teaching career at SUNY Oneonta in 1973, spending many years as an English education professor. In doing so, Pat authenticated and enabled the teaching careers of many English teachers, primarily throughout the Eastern United States. When English education became a part of the English Department at SUNY Oneonta he continued his almost 50-year career there.
