Robert Boyer Meyer, 76, of
Born on May 5, 1939 to Anna Jane (Boyer) and Ralph Edward
Meyer, Bob grew up in
Bob played 14 instruments professionally, but focused his
craft on the alto saxophone. In 1961, he was invited by Nadia Boulanger
to attend the Fontainebleau Conservatory of Music in
Bob also shared his talent in his religious life, serving
as choir director at
Bob knew the answer to every trivia question or crossword
puzzle, and had a witty pun or anecdote for every situation. Bob was not one to
“toot his own horn.” The humble, frugal way he lived his life taught his
children and grandchildren much about what makes a person successful.
Bob is survived by his three children, Robert Wesley Meyer
and his wife Tracy of Egg Harbor Twp, Carolyn Jo Meyer and her husband David Kacmarsky of Point Pleasant, and Andrew Robert Meyer and
his wife Christy of Brick; five grandchildren, Radek,
Dylan, Evan, Preston, and Summer Jo; his nieces Suzanne, Cheryl, Cindi and nephew Bradley; and
his “big sister” and confidante Peggy Grundon
of Harrisburg. He also leaves behind life-long friends and church family
members.
Bob joins a boisterous game of pinnacle already in
progress. He was predeceased by his parents and by his sisters Audrey
Reed and Pauline Wilson, who most likely greeted him with a tall glass of iced
tea and a bowl of pretzels before dealing the next round.
Bob would call his children daily, letting them know he was
“just checkin’ in.” The family appreciates the warm
thoughts and condolences of friends who have “checked in” and brought comfort
during this sad time.
