Mr. Meek served stateside as a Marine Lieutenant from Yale in WWII and Captain in reserves during the Korean War. At Yale he played Varsity Football and Soccer.

A lifelong Episcopalian, Mr. Meek served as a Knight in the Venerable Order of St. John of Jerusalem. A skilled racquets player, marksman, skier and fly fisherman, he especially enjoyed his time at the Mastigouche Fish and Game Club in Quebec.
