CD mourns prof's passing
Flags were flown at half-mast at CD last Friday in memory of Manuel Grimon, associate professor of French, who died April 17 at the age of 40.
Grimon, who had been with the college since 1984, ...said Ed Kies, dean of humanities, ...had been a well-liked teacher; and had adapted the "French in Action'" program for use in CD's Learning Lab.
"He was an excellent teacher," Kies said.
Diane Curtis, who describes herself as a "former student and friend" of Grimon, shared her memories of him.
"What always impressed me about Manuel Grimon was the importance of his students to him," Curtis said. "No matter what the circumstances, or other demands on his time, being available to his students was one of his highest priorities. His goal was always as much the growth of each
individual as it was the understanding of the classroom material.
"Like all extraordinary teachers, Manuel Grimon lives beyond his own
lifetime in each of the students he worked so diligently to teach."
A memorial service for Grimon is being organized to provide an opportunity to "celebrate Manuel's life with anecdotes and memories of his time with us at the college," according to Hal Temple, technician services librarian.
The service will be held May 15 in SRC 2017 from 12:30 to 2 p.m.
