"Eddie" Meier was a dear neighbor and friend to the Appel family. One of my fondest memories was listening to Eddie playing his jazz music all the way to our house on the next street! As a child, I spent many hours in the Meier household and always considered Eddie and his wife, Darlene, like my 2nd set of parents. Rest in peace, Eddie. I will miss you.

Our deepest sympathy to all of Ed's girls. We know you will miss him and he loved all of you very much! We had lots of fun as neighbors on 88th Street, with pool parties and just hangin' out. Please accept our best regards.
