Just One Tribute to A Wonderful MAN

With the death of a close friend of mine and to all the surrounding communities this is a hard time in our area for so many. He was a true Gem to all and this student worded it so well.

Eugene M. Meister

November 5, 1947 - February 22, 2016

Written by a student:

Very few people touch as many lives as Gene Meister did. He was a tremendous man: a husband, a father, a grandfather, a coach, a mentor, a role model, and a friend. With regard to Catholic education, he was a titan, a leader, and a visionary. On the baseball field, he was a Hall of Fame coach: a leader and a mentor of young men. He had a monumental impact on my life and on the lives of countless others. As a baseball player, he taught me more about life than anything else. I remember his talks before and after games very vividly because of the messages that they contained about life. Anyone and everyone that came into contact with Gene Meister was a better person for it. He was a generous, wise, and caring man who gave so much to so many. My thoughts and prayers go out to the Meister family, and to everyone else who loved and cherished this man.
