John Edward Meister, 67
John Edward Meister of Frankford died Wednesday, Jan. 17, 2007, in his home. He was 67.
Mr. Meister was born Dec. 7, 1939, in Cumberland, Md., son of the late Edward and Kathryn (Metger) Meister.
He lived in a house he built in Frankford for 40 years.
Prior to coming to Delaware, he served in the Marines, obtaining the rank of lance corporal and earning a Good Conduct Medal.
For many years, Mr. Meister worked in carpentry and was skilled in drywall and metal-stud work.
He always had a smile on his face, and you could hear his big, loud laugh from across the other side of any room.
Mr. Meister was a beloved father, and an active member of the Elks Club and several other social organizations.
In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by a brother, David Meister.
He is survived by three sons, Michael Meister of Springfield, S.C., John W. Meister of Bethany Beach and William Edward "Billy" Meister of Salisbury, Md.; a daughter, Jenny Meister of Salisbury; a granddaughter, Kaliah McFadden; four brothers and two sisters-in-law, Charles and Sue Meister of Martinsburg, W.Va., James Meister and Edward Meister, both of Laurel, Md. and Richard and Karen Meister of Malvern, Pa.; two sisters and two brothers-in-law, Carol and Billy Carr of Laurel, Md. and Nancy and Frank Crowne of Seneca, S.C.; dozens of nephews and nieces; and many close friends.
A funeral service will be 11:45 a.m. Tuesday in Melson Funeral Services, West Avenue in Ocean View, where friends may call two hours earlier.
Burial with military honors will follow at 1 p.m. in Delaware Veterans Memorial Cemetery South, Millsboro.
Instead of flowers, the family suggests memorial contributions to the American Heart Association - Kent County, Memorial Fulfillment Center, 777 Penn Center Blvd., Suite 200, Pittsburgh, PA 15235.
