Edward "Eddie" Meyer
Eddie Meyer passed away this past week (March 29th) at the age of 84 in Wausau, Wisconsin. A private service will be held sometime in the future. Eddie was a fixture at Windmill Trade Fairs for decades and once you met him it was unlikely you would forget him. Rest in peace my friend...

So sorry to hear. They just keep going away, don't they.
Call Dan Benjamin for parts. P M me for the phone number. IF YOU TALK TO HIM, AND HE HELPS YOU, THEN BUY FROM HIM. IT CREATES GOOD KARMA.

Obituary
Edward "Sweepy" Meyer died Monday March 29th at his home in Wausau. Edward was 84 years old.
Edward was born September 27th 1936 to Edward and Regina Meyer. He attended Wausau High School. After high school Edward enlisted in the Marines. During his time in the Marines he spent time in California and Hawaii.
Edward married his high school sweetheart Sharon Litzer on November 10th 1956. Edward and Sharon had 4 children. Steve (Becky) Meyer, Baileys Harbor, Rick Meyer, Wausau, Barb (Rich) Rozella, Rib Mountain and Sara Meyer, Iola. 2 grandchildren Eric Meyer and Justin Meyer, Sister Bay.
After his time in the service Edward worked as a machinist. After that he worked for Canteen Vending. Edward enjoyed the vending business very much and eventually partnered with his lifelong friend Vern Michlig at Verns Vending. After his retirement from vending Edward began restoring windmills. Restoring windmills became his passion. Edward and Sharon traveled throughout the country attending many windmill conventions and events. There are hundreds of Edward's restored windmills throughout Wisconsin and the bordering states. Edward was always very physically active and prided himself on being physically fit. Up until just a few years ago he did 100 push ups every morning . He loved biking as well as running. He took up running in his 60's and eventually competed in some area running events and races.
Along with his parents and Sharon, Edward was preceded in death by his siblings, Gen (Harold) Busche, Alice (Donald) Steiner, Dorothy (John) Szeckeress, Esther( John) Emmerick Cora (Larry) Socha, Raymond (Rosie) Meyer, Leon (Bernie) Meyer and Beatrice (Earl) Radenz. Along with many in laws. His sister Mae Allain survives.
After Sharon passed Edward was fortunate to find love again. Orlene Pavek shared many good times with Edward including the dream trip of a lifetime together to Hawaii. Orlene was very important to Edward and loved by the entire family. The family would like to recognize and thank Rick Meyer for caring for Dad for his last years. Rick did an awesome job and it is very appreciated. The family would also like to thank Jen and Interim Healthcare for her care over the last few months.
Edward will forever be remembered and admired for his very positive attitude. He always had a smile and kind words for everyone he came into contact with.
Private family services will be held at a later date. Burial will be in St. Michael Cemetery, Wausau. Peterson/Kraemer Funeral Home, Wausau is in charge of arrangements. Online condolences may be expressed at www.petersonkraemer.com

Re: Edward "Eddie" Meyer
One thing I noticed about Eddie was when there was a group picture taken at Shattuck work week he was always looking and talking and smiling or laughing with the person next to him and not looking at the camera.
Eddie was one of the founders of the Shattuck work week. Him and several others were talking at a trade fair and something was mentioned that Shattuck needed some help keeping the windmills up and going. That was the start of work week.
That is a good legacy to leave.
