Words are not adequate to express how profoundly I feel the loss of my beloved friend, Mike Meissner. Deepest sympathy goes to Kathiann and the entire family from me and my wife Midge.

Dear Laura, Kathi, Chris, Bethany, and all of your family, Laura, as I told you, I remember so vividly meeting your dad on our first day at Georgetown, when you and I were moving into New South. The impression of him then, and of the times after when I saw him, was always of warmth, kindness, humor, and generosity. I know that nothing I could write or say could make your loss less painful, but please know that so many people are holding you all in their thoughts and hearts- and sending...

I was so sorry to hear about Mr. Meissner's passing. I enjoyed working with him for over 10 years. He was the nicest guy and the biggest Indians fan I know. He will be missed. Condolences to the Meissner family.
