Stephen Harold Meek (July 17, 1943 - March 26, 2014) Stephen Harold Meek, 70 of Sherrills Ford NC, passed away suddenly at his home on March 26th 2014. Steve was born in San Diego CA on July 17, 1943, the son of William Harold and Anne Marie Savoure Meek. He is survived by his best friend and loving wife of 50 years, Elizabeth Louise, and two sons; William Gregory Meek (of the home); David Harold Meek and wife Megan Kelley of Beverly MA, parents of his beloved grandchildren Taylor and Spencer who were his pride and joy, calling him OG for â€œOther Grandpaâ€; and dearest sister Priscilla Meek Creed of Las Cruces, NM and her family. Steve graduated from San Diego State University with a Bachelor Degree in Political Science â€™65, where he and Beth were college sweethearts. He was an active member of his fraternity Sigma Alpha Epsilon. Steve started his career in California with Firestone Tire Company, followed by Proctor and Gamble, but he most enjoyed and excelled during his 37 years at Sylvania, where he held successive positions from local sales, regional management to National Director of Marketing for lighting products, retiring in 2006 in North Carolina. Steveâ€™s upward career gradually moved his family across the country, from San Diego to Denver and then Boston. They made lifelong friends in every community where they lived. In 1980 they settled for the next 25 years in Windham NH, finding much pleasure with New England friends and at their island cottage on Lake Winnipesaukee NH, and continued to retreat there annually every summer. A natural performer, he was at his best playing guitar and singing with all his musical friends. In his final position with Sylvania, they moved to Lake Norman in Sherrills Ford NC, where they enjoyed their Southern lake home and a community of incredible friends and neighbors. He will be greatly missed by all of his friends, old and new, including his two favorite cats, Bailey and Toby who kept him company while he read. He was preceded in death by his parents and oldest sister Anne. Visitation and a memorial service will be held 1pm Monday, March 31st, at Cavin-Cook Funeral Home in Mooresville NC. A reception celebrating his life will follow for family and friends at the Northview Harbour Club House. Donations can be made in his honor to the American Heart Association or to a Charity of oneâ€™s choice. PDF Printable Version
