Steven Meyer Obituary
Steven Russell Meyer
As generous as he was witty, Steven Russell Meyer, 68, died peacefully in his sleep at home on July 8, 2014. He was born July 2, 1946 in Indianapolis, Indiana to the late Chester and Betty Meyer.
Russell was a 1965 graduate of Arlington High School in Indianapolis. He went on to enlist in the U.S. Air Force, where he served honorably as a Sergeant from 1964 to 1968. He earned a Good Conduct Medal for exemplary service in Vietnam.
Russell's 30-year career in sales with Universal Instruments took him around the world on business. His travels abroad extended to almost every continent. Stateside, he spent time in 49 of 50 states. Only Idaho missed the chance to host this savvy traveler. Russell earned one of Universal's most distinguished awards in 1991, North American Salesman of the Year.
Russell is survived by his daughter, Ali Foster; his son, Scott Meyer and their mother, Judy Meyer. Russell was blessed with six granddaughters, Anaka, Liesel, Elliotte, Evelyn, Eleanor and Amelia. Russell was close with his two surviving siblings, Janice Stamm and Dale Meyer.

Dear Russ was a wonderful friend - always smiling and always happy. He is part of a group of friends I was so fortunate to meet so long ago in the early 70's. I will miss him with all my heart.

I remember Steve from school 53 and boy scouts and Arlington. I have talked to him since then, but he was a good friend back in the day.

Although we did not see much of each other after High School, I have great memories of his wit and the camaraderie we had in those years. He was a good friend.

Judy and kids I am so sorry for your loss. My name is Steven Huey and I am originally from Indy and now live in New York. Russ hired me when he managed the sales office on the north side. Russ and I traveled together quite a bit and I have never laughed as hard or so much as when i was with Russ. Although we are close in age he became a second dad to me in many ways. Russ had such a natural business sense that customers could not resist. I always marveled at the detail he knew about the electronics business. He always...always made it a point how proud he was of his kids and their accomplishments. Russ was a one of a kind and my heart aches.
