Not sure what to say?

Very early in our relationship i was working with Meredith to design the conveyor system in that old mill. I called on him to share my ideas for the system. We had met maybe four or five times by then, and we liked each other, but i was the salesman, and he was a potential customer, so i was still a bit formal with him. When he came to the reception area to greet me we shook hands and then turned to enter his office, and he put his arm across my shoulder, smiled and we walked into his...

So sorry we never really connected, don't know why. I guess there were just to many miles and age difference. Clayton Lashley of Oklahoma City, OK, Janice (lashley) Smith and myself Roger Lashley of Wichita, KS are the last of the first cousins. Love the menories of you mom and dad.

So sorry for the delay. Meredith was one of my very favorite people. We worked together to design the conveyor system in the old Textile plant in Charlotte back in the early 70's. He flew my wife and me to Memphis TN to look at a warehouse we had done there, and he let me take the controls for a while. I considered him a personal friend and companion.

TX. He will remain in my thoughts forever. A very nice gentleman,...

Meredith was a dear neighbor and a complete gentleman. My thoughts and prayers to his family.

Ron, we are so sad for you and your family. Please know that you are in our hearts in the days and weeks ahead.

Meredith often flew many Eckerd people to various Eckerd locations throughout the chain. He always flew us safely to our destination and our return. Knowing him as I do, I am sure that he is flying to a greater place where all the good guys always land. My sincerest sympathy to all the family

We just lifted you all up in prayer. We pray that God will give you comfort and guidance today and in the days ahead. We use to look forward to seeing and speaking with your Dad & Mom when they went to our Church at First Baptist in Kings Mountain, NC. We cherish the memories of those days, and we just ask that God's Blessings be upon All the Family.

Meredith, Ron & Meda, your Dad was my dearest and best friend. I shall miss him. My sincerest sympathy to you.

Meredith, Ron and Meda... Did not know your dad but in reading about him, it seems as if he had a wonderful, full life and his blessings live on in the three of you and your children and families.... Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers...
