Meredith was a great friend who had an insatiable intellectual curiosity. I always enjoyed our conversations ranging from books, to investments, to traveling the country in an RV. I will miss him.

Meredith was a friend and somewhat of a mentor for many years to myself and I am sure other people as well.
He will be missed not only by his faithful dog but many humans as well
