My condolences to Judge Meyer's family. I tried a number of cases before him during the 80s and 90s. He was an excellent judge and a fine man. God Bless you at this difficult time.

My son Max (15) and I met Judge Meyer once in April 2007 when we were guests of the Meyer Shorb family. For a full day he showed us around Harvard. It was a great day with a great, inspiring person we will always remember!

Dear Sally,

I was sorry to hear of your loss. Though I didn't know your husband well, I had the pleasure of restoring his vintage photograph and do remember his graciousness. Please know that you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers.

I will always have fond memories of Judge Meyer from my childhood visits -- dinners with the family, recommended scenes to play selected from the many classic novels in the familyroom downstairs. Joan's parents always made me feel as though I was one of their own children. My heart is with you at this time of sorrow.

Dear Mrs. Meyer, Joan, Ames, Ellen, Tom and Andy: Our thoughts and prayers are with you as we have learned this evening of Judge Meyer's passing on to the promised land. If there is anyone who will be greeted with "Halleluliahs" it's the Judge. What a special man. May his grace and kindness carry on in you and your children. Love, Tom and Hilary

Dear Joan, Ames and family
I am so sorry for the loss of your father, father -in-law and grandfather. But I am uplifted at the thought of his very, very full life and loving family. I remember him and your mother so kindly watching all of our collective children in Sanibel so we could go out to dinner. He truly seemed to be a happy man.

Dear Andrew and family,
I am sorry for the loss of your father. I remember your father fondly, when he came to school when we were in 5th grade and discussed his job as an attorney. I recall how proud he was being part of the legal system. Please keep your memories close to your hearts at this time.
