Dear Friends and Family,
Most of you are already aware that Anthony (Tony) Meeker my brother passed away on Monday, February 9th in a tragic car accident in his home state, Pennsylvania at the age of 44. Many of you didn't personally get to meet Tony, but he was a giving, humble, spiritual, and kindhearted brother and friend. He will be missed dearly by all of us.
I am home in PA for his funeral services this weekend and wanted to thank you all for keeping our family in your thoughts. We sincerely appreciate all personal expressions of sympathy. We have been comforted immensely by all that have reached out with your prayers and thoughts.
Tony was a compassionate fellow cyclist and champion. The l ove of cycling with my brother was a bond we shared together. Should friends desire to send memorial contributions the family has designated the Amgen-Giant Elite Masters Racing Charity which I will be riding in next week in honor of Tony to raise funds for Cancer. Below I have included links that will give you information on the ride. It would mean a lot to the family if you should decide to give a charitable donation in lieu of flowers or gifts in honor of Tony.
Thank you in advance for your continued support and contribution. Keeping us in your thoughts is truly appreciated.
Richard Meeker & Meeker Family
