Paul Richard Meyer, age 73, of Osgood, passed away peacefully at his home early Tuesday, July 29, 2025. He was born on January 5, 1952, at Margaret Mary Hospital in Batesville, the son of the late August and Mary (Stuehrenberg) Meyer.
Paul grew up in the Osgood community alongside his siblings and was a proud graduate of Jac-Cen-Del High School. A naturally creative and gifted craftsman, Paul not only dreamed up designs but brought them to life with precision and pride. Known for his perfectionism, he believed in doing things the right way—there was no middle ground.
One of Paul’s most notable contributions was his design of the Uni-Goose Hitch, which helped lay the foundation for today’s modern gooseneck hitch systems. His hitches were sold across the country and remain a testament to his innovative spirit.
Paul was a simple man who found his greatest joy at home—whether fishing, restoring classic cars, or simply spending time with loved ones. He was a familiar face in the community, operating his own fabrication shop after working 16 years at Delta Faucet.
On October 15, 2018, he married Susan Feathers, and together they created many cherished memories. Paul had a love for motorcycles and was especially proud of his Mustang.
He is survived by his wife Susan; daughters Christy (David) Youngman and Ashleigh Meyer; stepdaughters Stella (Adam) Staublin and Angel (Dustin) Dilbeck; siblings Carol (Roger) Williams, Bob (Peg) Meyer, and Ken (Sandy) Meyer; sister-in-law Marlene Meyer; as well as several grandchildren, nieces, and nephews.
He was preceded in death by his parents and brother Jim Meyer.
