Michael Meister Obituary

Michael A. Meister
LEWISBERRY
Michael "Mike" Abe Meister passed away peacefully, surrounded by his family on Thursday, October 22, 2015, at the Carolyn Croxton Slane Hospice Residence.
Mike enjoyed spending time with his family and friends and crafting meals for them from Cook's Illustrated or Bon Appetit. One of his favorite pastimes was golfing with his good friend, Sam, and Sam's son, Derek. Mike enjoyed sitting outside with a good cup of coffee, watching the deer run through the yard, and sharing a Pop-Tart with his canine friend, Paxton. He also enjoyed hunting, listening to music, looking through coins, watching Jeopardy, and completing The New York Times crossword puzzle.
Mike was a graduate of Spring Grove Area High School. He went on to join the U.S. Navy, and retired from the National Elevator Industry.
He was the son of the late Mikiko Meister Baker and his late devoted stepfather, Milton W. Baker. Mike was also predeceased by his brother, Thomas W. Baker, Sr. He is survived by his brother, Jack Meister of Harrisburg; brother, Bryon Baker of Mechanicsburg; sister, Dawna Baker of New Cumberland; sister, Sandra Baker of Chesapeake, Va.; sister-in-law, Teresa Baker-Opland of Chelmsford, Mass.; three nephews and two nieces, all of whom will cherish memories of him and miss him dearly.
A memorial service will be held at the family's discretion. Interment will follow at Mount Rose Cemetery, York.
In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to the Carolyn Croxton Slane Hospice Residence, 1701 Linglestown Road, Harrisburg, PA 17110.

I knew Michael from the Navy. We served a short time onboard the Independence. I was a newby and Mike showed me around and was an overall good guy.

I moved on but winter night he and others from the ship came over to where I was living for the night. The next day Mije made dinner for us all.
