Dear grandfather of Nathaniel, Andrew and Jeffrey. He will be remembered by many loving relatives and friends.

Born in Erin, WI, the loving son of Esther (nee Held) and Raymond Meier, Bob deeply valued his faith, family, and friends. He shared his love, wisdom and compassion with so many people.

Bob set a great example by contributing to his community, profession and church. He enlisted with the Army Air Corps in WWII, served as co-pilot of a B-17, survived harsh realities of life in a POW camp and returned home to a 40 year career as a CPA in a firm that eventually became Meier, Clancy, George and Co. Bob led Hartford Savings Bank as a director for 50 years and served as chairman for the past ten years. Throughout the years, Bob actively participated in Rotary and was dedicated to volunteering at his local church.

May time mellow the sorrow and enhance the memories of love and time shared together.

The loss of a loved one is so hard to bear even when we know that our loss is their gain if the departed is saved. The loss of a "good" man is especially sad when our world is in such desperate need of them. Pearl, rejoice in the memories of a life well lived and in the many blessings that you shared with Bob. Look forward to being with him again in the presence of Jesus and God even while you mourn your great loss. Please know that your church will always be here for you to help you through...

Dear Diane, Reed, Nathaniel and the the Meier Family,

Much love and sympathy during this sad time. Family is so important to all of you that I know that Robert's passing has left a great void. May prayers, memories, family and friends surround you with love and give you comfort.

Diane, we appreciated you having your good friend Jenny call us. It is times like these that friends want to be with you to offer their love and sympathy. Below are a few lines from a poem that I...

Bob will be sincerely missed by all in our neighborhood. It has always been a pleasure visiting with Bob and Pearl on their walks through the neighborhood. Our children always enjoy stopping by for trick or treat. Pearl we wish the best for you and your family during this time. You are in our prayers.

Dear Pearl, Vicky, Diane, Reid, Nathaniel, John, Andrew, and Jeffrey,

We want you all to know we loved Bob dearly. I have known him for 52 years, almost all my life,and David has known Bob for 35 years. He has been not just a close friend to our family (the Stanelles) but almost like a member of our family. We feel privileged to have shared so much laughter and a few tears with not just Bob but his entire family. Warm memories of camping trips, picnics, dinners shared at each...

As one of Bob's neighbors, we can say with certainty that Bob will be missed, but thought of often with great fondness. Bob was a wonderful neighbor and teacher, who shared much of his life experiences and lessons with us. Our hearts go out to Pearl, Bob and Pearl's children, and grandchildren. He will live on in your hearts, and ours too.

Dear Diane, Reed, Nathaniel, and the Meier family,
My deepest sympathy to all of you on the death of your father, grandfather, and husband. Diane, I am so sorry for this sudden loss for you - I know how much you loved your father, and his love for you will always be in your heart! May God comfort you with the knowledge that you will all be together in heaven and that your father is there now, at peace. Reflect on wonderful memories and spend many hours as a family talking about those...

Bob was certainly a terrific man and will be deeply missed by 'the neighborhood'. Bob and Pearl regularly strolled throughout our streets and, with their bag of collected trash in hand, happily stopped to give hugs and chat with many of us. They have become dear friends. While the dynamic duo is no longer we look forward to continuing to see Pearl's bright smiling face out and about.
