At holiday get-togethers at Grandma's, uncle Jim was always laughing and joking around. I remember practicing jokes at home before a holiday so that I would have some good ones to make him laugh. The knock knock jokes didn't work so well, but the story jokes we're a pretty big hit - as long as I could remember the punchline. RIP Uncle Jim
My fondest memories were spending time at the house in Radom and watching movies all night long. The time he came to the rescue to road trip with my sister to Connecticut. Laci said she asked for five minutes of silence, and after a few, he turned to Laci and said, "Sometimes I think I can breathe from my ears." Another favorite was the 3500 mile RV trip he, my sister, and I went on to Yellow Stone. Rest in peace, papa. 🖤
We are so saddened by the passing of our great friend, and neighbor, Jim Meyer. We lived as neighbors for many, many years in our beloved Florissant. We shared the "growing up" years of our children, and, consider Jim's sweet daughter, Shannon, as one of our own. So many interesting, and fun-filled conversations. So many lifetime events weathered through with the help, and comfort of good friends. One of my personal memories of Jim, involves the addition of a bedroom for our boys, in our basement. Don insisted on doing everything himself. It was taking forever. One day, I happened to run into Jim on the sidewalk, and, he casually asked how I was enjoying the new bedroom for the boys? I had to inform him that the bedroom was far from done. Before I knew it, Jim and his three incredible sons were down in our basement, working like beavers, in perfect harmony! In just a matter of a few hours, the walls were up, the window in place, the floor was ready, the door was on its hinges, and, he was asking what color to paint the walls! The room was DONE! It was a miracle! And, it was PERFECT! I offered to pay the Meyer Phenomena for their excellent work, but, Jim just smiled, shook his head, and said, "It's our pleasure". We will miss you, dear Jim, and we miss your beautiful Meyer Family. We are so grateful for the times spent with great neighbors, and especially, great friends.
So very sorry for your loss, Jim was a wonderful person. Jim and I became friends and neighbors. He always enjoyed talking about his family. He loved his children and grandchildren. He enjoyed his home theater and often shared the sound system with neighbors at 2 a.m. I would call him or knock on the back door, to let him know I had to go to work in a few hours.
Jim will be sorely missed, he was always happy hear from me. I will miss you my friend.
My condolences to the entire Meyer family.
Kaye and Lonnie Tisdale
