He was born on September 29, 1939 in Spencer, W. Va. to the late Oral and Maxine Meadows. Mr. Meadows retired from Chrysler in 1993.

He was a faithful member of Reimer Road Baptist Church and served as the Sunday School Superintendent, a deacon, a choir member, working with the bus ministry and AWANA.

I am so sorry for the loss of your dear father and for the heartache you are feeling. You have been on my mind this week because I know that there isn't anything I can say that will take this heartache away and make it all better. I do know that God will bring you comfort now and in the days to come but also may all of your wonderful memories of him bring a smile to your face and help you not to miss him so much.
You and your family are in my prayers. I am so sorry for your loss...
