George Meyer

It is no exaggeration that George Meyer was a Wisconsin conservation giant whose legacy will live on well past our own time. As a friend and colleague with whom I worked, I will remember his tenacity as a DNR attorney, courage as DNR Secretary, and focus on getting solutions, while others postured. I will miss my good friend until I may join him fly fishing on the other side. Tom Dawson, former Wisconsin Public Intervenor and Department of Justice Environmental Protection Unit Director.

I am so sorry for the loss of George. He was a very gentleman and a great dancer!

Dear Jayne and Family, I am very sad to read of George's death. Stan and I really appreciated all of his work within the DNR. I enjoyed the friendship and sharing when our children were school age and doing some sunday school together. Blessings to all of you as you go on , bolstered by the wonderlife you enjoyed with George. Kathy

While I never met Mr. Meyer, I and every Wisconsinite have benefitted from his efforts to preserve and repair our environment from the ravages of profits and "progress". Everyone who hunts, hikes, or bikes in this state owes him a debt of gratitude. My condolences to family, friends, and associates.

I´ll always be grateful to George for giving me the opportunity to end my WDNR career on a high note when he asked me to prepare a strategy plan on the future of hunting, fishing & trapping in Wisconsin. May he rest in peace. Jayne and family, please accept my condolences.
