Former UNLV President 'Pat' Goodall dead at 75
LAS VEGAS (AP) -- Former University of Nevada, Las Vegas professor, president and author Leonard "Pat" Goodall has died at age 75.
The university announced Tuesday that Goodall died Monday at home in Las Vegas after battling brain cancer.
Goodall was the university's fourth president, serving from 1979-1984. He remained a professor of management and public administration until his retirement in 2000.
The Las Vegas Review-Journal reports that Goodall authored nine books including "An Investor's Memoir," advocating a conservative approach to investing.
Current university President Neal Smatresk says Goodall will be remembered for his work during a critical phase of growth at UNLV.
He is survived by his wife, Karen Crane, daughter Karla Powers, son Gregory Goodall, and grandchildren.
Plans for a memorial service are incomplete.
