Fondly known as the “Gas Man,” Mr. Meyer delivered fuel to local farmers for over 30 years. He was a talented woodworker and made numerous birdhouses over the years. Paul and Janice loved spending summer weekends at Foxwood Hills in Middlebury. They enjoyed taking their grandchildren on vacations. He was a longtime member of St. Joseph Catholic Church in Pulaski and formerly served on the parish council. He was a charter member and past treasurer of the Star City Lions Club. He previously served on the Pulaski/White Rural Telephone Cooperative Board and Pulaski County Council. He was a legendary storyteller. Whether it was telling jokes around the campfire or just spinning a yarn in public, he never met a stranger. He will be remembered for his great sense of humor and friendly demeanor.
