Robert Meredith

I was also shocked and saddened to learn of the passing of Doctor Bob Meredith. I was 4-year College Bowl player for Doc. Doc continued to coach the Tech college bowl team despite no longer working for the institute. He took a chance on me as a freshman, although my score on his very difficult qualifying test perhaps did not merit that chance. His faith, patience and confidence enabled me to become a better player, leader and person. My most cherished memories of Tech are of Doc, Eileen,...

I was shocked to learn of Doc's death in the Tech Topics. I played College Bowl in the early days (maiden name Ryan). Doc was a wonderful coach and mentor. I appreciate the time he and Eileen spent with us.

I am from Bartlesville and attended grade school, high school, then K.U. with Bob. He was one of the brightest and kindest students in my class. I am pleased to see his familiar smile and have this opportunity to send my sincere sympathy for your loss.

Eileen.... Bob and I were in a number of classes together in High School. I remember particularly the tough math classes; I didn't like it that he seemed to "get it" quicker and better than I did, but I looked up to him for his hard and dependable work. He was a fine man. My best to you. Robert Swinney

I was associated with Bob for several years at H & R Block. He was very good at his business and very helpful to his colleagues. I was sorry to hear of his untimely death. Best wishes to Mrs. Meredith. Ella Forrester

Bob Meredith was a dear man. He was a much beloved teammate and friend. I will miss him, but like to think that he is making sure that we all have well balanced and well written questions in the eternal game of the afterlife.

Eileen, I was stunned when I heard of Bob's death. I still have such fond memories of our talks on the front porch with you, me and skizeeks!!!! I have you guys on video from my 40th birthday party at Eastlake 16 years ago!! You and Bob were the nicest neighbors and sweet friends. I will pray for you often and I send my most heartfelt sympathy at this very difficult time for you. May you laugh again soon. Love, Kathleen & Stan

While many others have rightly commented about the significant role Bob played in the College Bowl world, I want to pay homage to Bob as a man with a good heart and kind soul. One of my special memories of Bob is when he bonded with my cat Pyewacket while visiting us during a Master's tournament. "Well aren't you a fine kitty" he said, thereby winning over my kitty and me. Bob was a very private man, but everyone who cared about him also knows what a truly good person he was.

Such sad news to hear of the untimely death of Bob Meredith. Sorrow fills our hearts for who will miss him, especially his loving and devoted wife, Dr. Eileen Meredith.
With sympathy,
