Sda day. Leon, thank you so much for all your support all these years. You were a mentor, friend and I never had a greater advocate in the political world here in Augusta. You were a gentleman with a kind and ever open heart. Rest in Peace Mr. Meyer you will be missed.

I was a new young supervisor with DuPont Security when I met Dr. Meyer for the first time. I was having a tough time adjusting to my new environment at SRP. Dr. Meyer was very kind and supportive. I observed him on other occasions dealing with important issues and he was always a class act. In my opinion--he was one of the best superintendents that SRP ever had--a brilliant man. Shalom! Dr. Meyer. Sh'ma Yisrael: Adonai Eloheineu. Adonai Ekhad.

To the Meyer family - I am sorry for your loss. Dr. Meyer was always a very kind man. I never heard him have a harsh word for anyone. He was also a very active volunteer for CCI. He will be greatly missed.
Sincerely,
The Scharff family
