I had the honor of serving as Mr. Mayer's secretary during his last years as senior counsel at Armstrong Teasdale. He was kind, generous and a true gentleman. I will always remember his concern for me and my children and his pure joy in my son joining the ranks at Mizzou! I am saddened by his passing but so thankful for our time together. Best to Julie and his beloved family.
