Goehler was an active member of the Kent State community who will be missed by all, said Richard Roldan, Dining Services director.

“He definitely serviced Kent State University in a lot of ways,” Dining Services director, Richard Roldan said. “He was very active with the students; he worked with a lot of students, especially in the kitchen. He was very focused on bringing diversity to the menu. With 32 years of service, he’ll be deeply missed by everyone here, no doubt about it.”
