Sorry to hear of Dr Meymaris passing.
He was my dentist.
Remembering his 1960 Corvette in Roman Red and his 1963 Corvette Sting Ray convertible in Silver Blue.
Dr Meymaris allowed me to try his 1963 Corvette back in the day.
When I got my new 1967 Corvette returned the favor, back in the day.

Carol,
I was so sad to hear the news of Paul's passing. There are just so many great memories of the two of you in my heart. You are blessed to have had such a long loving relationship with Paul, and to me you guys were the definition of "soul mates." You are in my thoughts and prayers and wish you comfort in these difficult days. He is "v"onderful.

To the Meymaris Family,
What a joy it was to have known such a man. My Aunt was Virginia Sticka Sullivan she worked for him for many years. As a child he visited my home for the Holiday's and I visited him in his office where most of the time he gave me novacaine. But the warm memories of the Jazz music playing and my Aunt pinching me to open my mouth. To all of your memories that you have all shared with him, God Bless and may his journey continue in your memories. God bless you and my heartfelt sympathies to you all. Darlene Chandler

"'Til my body is dust
'til my soul is no more
I will love you, love you
'Til the sun starts to cry
and the moon turns to rust
I will love you, love you"

My Grampa,
There are no words to express the pride and honor that I feel having you as my Grampa. You will forever be loved, and in my heart. Your beautiful light will continue to guide our ways. I love you with all my heart.

In 1964, we enjoyed a long remembered visit from Paul and his dad at a military housing complex in Frankfurt, Germany. They stayed with us for a few days during a planned trip to Greece. Their plans included landing at Rheine Main Air Base; buying a new 1964 Volkswagen Bug; billeting with us for a couple of days, and sightseeing Frankfurt and its historic WW2 building damage; stocking the Volkswagen with nonperishable food; then heading for Greece over some questionable serviceable roads. At the time, we had six young children. Paul and his dad seemed to handle the chaos quite comfortably. We both felt honored that Paul and his dad included us in their trip to Greece.
