I graduated from high school 18 years ago and hearing about the passing of Mr. Meyer stung just as if I imagine it would have if I had heard it when I was in school. Such an incredible man who impacted my life for the better. You will never be forgotten. People like him leave a lasting impression in your heart I wish the world had more like him!

My condolences on your loss; rejoicing on his "graduation" into Glory! He will be greatly missed by anyone that came in contact with him.
He was one of the first ones to greet me when I first moved to Maryland...

I have only met Mr. Meyer a couple of times. Although my past with him has been limited, he always put a smile on my face each time he said hello to me, even though he didn’t know me personally. I have been so blessed to have his daughter’s family (the Sherwins) as a part of my life, and I know that he has had an incredible impact on their lives. I have heard so much about him, and I know that he was very well loved. He showed Christ in his life to his grandchildren whom I love, and I’m sure that in part because of his influence, I have seen Christ through them. I am so sorry that he is no longer able to be with them, but I am happy to know that he is with his Saviour in heaven and that I will meet him again one day. I will continue to be in prayer for all of the family through this time. -Psalm 18:2,6

I am sorry that I didn't come to see him more often and "Aunt" Sue also. I offer my deepest condolences during this time. He will be greatly missed! Your family is in our prayers!

This truly was a wonderful man in many ways. He was witty, too. We've known him for many years. He was a business associate, teacher and friend to many of us. We mourn with the family in his homegoing. He will be missed.
