To The Meeks Family,

For over 50 plus years we have shared so many fun humorous years on Conlin Drive. Especially the Summer and Christmas Block parties. Mr. Meeks enjoyed preparing for those events more than anyone.

He had such a "Big" heart, always available to lend a helping hand to whenever or wherever, no matter the task.

Mrs. Laura and family you have my deepest sympathy in your loss. I going to miss looking down the street and not seeing him outside....my neighbor, Mr. Meeks.

Coach Meeks was a great Coach, teacher and cared about his students. He helped our girls track team at Daggett and taught us PE as well. He had patience with us, taught us the technique of running, jumping, etc whatever it took to make us better. I admire him for that, and also being sturn with the boys :) May God bless his family
