Sorry to hear about your Father, my condolences. Hope everyone is doing well, with Love Tom Utley 520-409-4442

So many years have long passed, but I still remember how Mr. Mead supported our Jr. High baseball team. He would transport half our team to and from the games with his chevy carry-all. After the game he would take us back to the pharmacy lunch counter for a soda. Good Menouries, Thank you Mr. Mead

I played Ball on Mr. Meads Team with his son Kevin. Win or Loose we always met at the Small Restaurant for Ice Cream after the games. He was generous and kind. God Bless you Mr. Mead. Your Guidence and Kindness will never be forgotten.

I got to meet mr. Mead when his son Kevin was in Flowing Wells cuz I was on the football team I was a student manager he was such a great guy and course when I was in high school it from 7 1974 until I graduated in 1978 they had needs drug store right there on the corner of the Flowing Wells Plaza right next to the laundromat but anyway my condolences to his family

I just heard of the passing of Mr. Mead most telling as we are working on a 45th Reunion (Jane-Class of '72) for Flowing Wells. This reinforces the fact that 45yrs is a wonderful thing to celebrate (we don't know that there will be a 50th planned. I also wanted to mention a huge act of kindness Mr. Mead did for me. When I was very small I saw a beautiful brooch in one of his cases. I thought this would be perfect for my Mom for Christmas. I saved up and gathered enough to purchase the pin...

Mr. Mead was always nice to us kids, no matter that some of us had very little money to spend. He was always smiling and we always liked going into the drug store. I remember the little lunch area at the back, and the picture of the violin and other pictures there. Mr. Mead and his homey, up to date, but old fashioned drug store will be missed. I know the drug store part has been gone for a while, but he will always be remembered in his white coat behind the counter.

Sorry to here of Jacks passing. I met Jack upon returning from the Navy in 1955 when he worked for my Dad at Frontier Village Drug. I worked with him in the store while I went to college. My Dad then worked for Jack in Flowing Wells when he sold the Frontier Village Store.
My thoughts and prayers go out to to your family.

To the entire Mead family,
I just want to send my sincerest condolences on your loss. I remember Mr. Mead well, such a really nice man. I loved browsing through his store while my mom shopped, and occasionally, she would treat me and my siblings to something from the soda fountain. What wonderful memories. I went to Flowing Wells during the same time as Janie; she was in classes with my sister, Leah Ray, from kindergarten on. Just want to share a scriptural thought with you, that we have...

I grow up with Mead Drug Store -- originally at Prince RD & Iroquois Avenue and later at Flowing Wells Plaza -- when my late parents bought in 1957 their home nearby the original location. My next neighbor, the late Mrs. Martin, worked for many years at the drug store. My mother would treat me and my two younger brothers to bananas splits at the sit-down fountain/cafe inside the drug store. My brothers and I would buy our comic books there, 5 cents and later 10 and 15 cents! My mother...
