William "Bill" Meade

Martha - so sorry to hear of your father´s passing. He sounds like a wonderful man who blessed many. My thoughts and prayers are with you family.

Thank you for your service Sir

I had the pleasure of working with Bill at Riverside Middle School. Bill was a student focused staff member, ready to help us with students. He would walk around the building with a smile and always seeking conversation with both students and staff. He listened first, then we would "talk" about "it" and his advice came from his Christian compassion and friendship perspective. I missed working with him when I moved on to Union. I remember he was the "voice" of East Grand Rapids High School...

A wonderful neighbor who will be sorely missed.

Mr. Meade was not my teacher in 6th grade at Burton elementry school. However he was in charge of our Safety squad. You remember the kids that wore the orange belts and stood on the street corners directing other kids when thay could cross intersections. He was firm in his order, gentle in our sidebars and most definetly planted the gift of fairness and purpose no matter the task. I wish i had met him once more as an adult to say Thank you.

Mr. Meade was one the most influential teachers I had growing up. He was my 6th grade teacher at my elementary school. Mr. Meade made learning fun, and memorable. My condolences to his family.

My condolences to the family. God-Bless.

Marcia and family, our hearts break for you in the loss of your wonderful Bill. You inspired us as a couple in your dedication and care for each other and your family and friends. Prayers for peace to you all. Love, Ed and Pam Ellinger
