Frederick Meissner Obituary
He shared a true love story with his soulmate and best friend of 44 years, Terry Meissner of Elmira. Fred was a fantastic father and friend to Jeremy (Kelly) Meissner of Elmira, and Joe (Karen) Meissner of Elmira. Mentor, comedian, friend, punster and absolute game changer to his five grandchildren - Jamieson, Kate; Grey, William and Charles.
Dear brother of Frank (Kathryn) Meissner, and Carolin (Marty) Strummer. Will be greatly missed by Hilda and Bev, Annie and Murray, Margie and Brian, Mary, Helmut, Helen, Ashley, Rick, many nieces, nephews and their families, his compound family of Jenny, Kevin and Aiden Basler, and many wonderful friends.
Predeceased by his parents Erwin and Annie (Kurucz) Meissner, and his mother-in-law Kate Bugarsky.
Fred was a teacher for 27 years at Elmira District Secondary School. His impact at EDSS will be truly felt for generations. Fred had a lifelong commitment to nurturing young minds. He possessed an extraordinary ability to connect with his students, instilling in them a love for learning and a belief in their own potential. Fred treasured spending quality time with his wife, children, and grandchildren. He showed them all what authentic true love looks like. He was a pillar of strength and a source of unwavering support for his family, always ready to provide encouragement and love in the most thoughtful and inspirational ways. Fred leaves behind a void that cannot be filled, but his love and light will live on through the lives he touched. He is on to his next great adventure. Meissner, party of 11, transcends the boundaries of space and time.
Cremation has taken place and a celebration of life will be held at a later date. As an expression of sympathy, donations can be made to Kate's Kause, a foundation near and dear to Fred's heart.

So many great memories growing up with Fred, Frank and Caroline. From cradle to high school graduation. Best memory was when my sons had meet the teacher night and everyone was surprised that Fred was teaching my boys at Elmira. My dear friends, I pray that the Lord gives you strength and understanding, peace and comfort. The Surnoskie Family

I met Mr. Meissner in 1994 when I came to EDSS as a student in an extra curriculum writing club and graduated in 1999 as my home room teacher. He definitely left a great impression on me and encouraged me and fed my love of writing. Myself and a couple of my friends are grateful of having him as homeroom teacher. I can´t say for my friends, but I always enjoyed coming to class because he made it feel more than worthwhile. He will never be forgotten and always loved.
