So sorry to hear of Mr. Meyer's death. Prayers for the family. Mr. Meyer hired me into the maintenance department in 1985 as the electrical foreman. He was a good boss. I know he will be missed.

Meyer Family:
Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.
Fond memories of Coach Meyer throughout my years at Fuller School, Class of ‘64.
Coach Ken Parks had the honor & privilege of coaching Teddy Jr at McClelland High School in 1971. He got to know Ted senior very well and continued to work with him when Ted worked for PCSD Maintenence Supervisor.
Ted continued to help Coach Parks when he needed assistance with Mills High School Stadium maintenance projects during his 17 years there. Ken could always count on Ted Meyer Senior to be there for him! Ted Meyer Sr, always a great and honorable man who will be remembered by many!
