Mrs. Meyer and family: I'm so sorry to hear of Cpt Meyer's passing. My prayers are with you. I would just like to add that I looked forward to the Badin Games at Hamilton High when Cpt Meyer would come over and talk to the firemen at Station One before he went and watched the game. He had so many stories to tell of his days as a fireman. It was always a pleasure to talk to him. I am going to miss Cpt Meyer.
