Meeker San is a good man. Kind and Generous. He regularly sent me odds and ends of his shop stuff and he was closing it down. We still laugh over a large clothes pin marked "Most Farts Per Day Award."

John Meeker, for those who are not on FB... (reply)

Never met the gent face-to-face, but he was indeed a generous soul. He was devoted to his canine companions, so the fact he was walking them when the tragedy occurred is not surprising.

I posted:
John Meeker has been on my mind a bit over the last few weeks. I was wondering how he was doing. Today, on DGJ, I see this awful news...
"John Meeker, marshgurl, a member here for many years has been heinously assaulted and seriously injured by person or persons still unknown while walking his dogs along a river not far from his home. He was brutally struck on the back of the head, fracturing the skull and causing massive concussion and brain bleeding. He is currently in a coma in the ICU with no prognosis.
I met John on this forum over twenty years ago. He and I regularly corresponded and conversed on the phone. There are a number of persons here who did the same. I know him to be a kind and generous man whom I totally respect. This happening to him is so outrageous that I have no words.
As I get news I'll pass it along, but I must admit that it seems grim."

Roger Cox posted a screenshot conversation from Martha, John's wife, indicating that John was now out of ICU. So, that's encouraging.
