Cecil Meyer

Cecil E. Meyer, 67, of Perry, Oklahoma, was the son of Anthony Franklin and Anna Berger Meyer. He was born on March 23, 1940 in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma and died Thursday, September 20, 2007 at his home. Cecil was a 1959 graduate of Orlando High School. He was a lead man in the welding department at Charles Machine Works where he worked for thirty-nine years until retiring in 1998. Cecil enjoyed spending time with family and friends, but his true passion was farming. The family is grateful to Gene for her loving care as she stood by our father throughout his illness. Cecil established many friendships and acquaintances throughout his life in the Perry area and many helped him with wheat harvesting when it became too much for him to handle. He was grateful to all the caregivers at Judith Karman Hospice and the caregivers he has had in his home, especially Pam Hotson and Jessie Ruiz.
