Meyer, Cornelius
Reproducing in full, which I think is appropriate in this case:
Cornelius Charles Meyer, 75, of Rocky Hill and formerly of Cheshire, passed away on October 2, 2017 at Hartford Hospital. He was the beloved husband of Olita Meyer. Born in Buffalo, N.Y. on August 29, 1942, he was the son of the late Cornelius and Mildred (Roth) Meyer. He attained his B.S. in Psychology at SUNY Buffalo, his M.S. at Connecticut College and his Ph.D. from the University of Waterloo, and went on to work as a Professor at Quinnipiac University for over 41 memorable years. Dr. Meyer developed the Psychobiology Program at Quinnipiac, and was well published, including the professional journals Nature and Science. Cornelius enjoyed yearly baseball trips with his sons and was a fan of the Boston Red Sox and the UConn Women’s Basketball team. Most importantly, he will be remembered as a devoted and loving family man. He will be sadly missed but always remembered by his beloved wife Olita; sons, Jesse and his wife Rebecca Meyer of Colchester, and Aaron and his wife Jaimie Meyer of Wilton; four grandchildren, Madeline, Casey, Shane, and Jonah; and numerous extended family and friends. A memorial service will be held on Saturday, October 7, at 2 p.m. at the Cheshire Congregational Church, 111 Church Dr., Cheshire, Conn. The Aurora-McCarthy Funeral Home of Colchester has been entrusted with care of these arrangements. For online condolences, please visit www.auroramccarthyfuneralhome.com.

This is sad to hear.
While most of you know him as a boneyarder, I have known of him for many years. He and I both contributed to some online discussion forums so long ago I don't remember exactly when but probably in the 80s. We became online friends but never met in person until we met at a UConn game in Hartford. We had both use pseudonyms in the online forums, so I still remember when he came up to me and said, "are you ____?". I'm sure I did a double take, as we both confirmed that we knew each other.
That's a great photo of him, I know how proud he was of his son
