Grand Valley mourns death of geology professor

Professor Emeritus Dick Lefebvre died January 1 in Arizona after battling cancer. Lefebvre helped start the geology program at Grand Valley when he started working at the university in 1964. He retired in 1998.

“Dick was central in forming a strong geology program at Grand Valley,” said Steve Mattox, associate professor and chair of the geology department. “His warmth and mentoring were greatly appreciated and will be missed.”

No formal ceremony is planned.
