Herschel T. "Butch" Meredith MEREDITH, Herschel T. "Butch'-- passed away June 11, in Mountain View, exactly two months short of his 93rd birthday. Meredith was born and raised in Columbus, Ohio, where he attended Ohio State University and joined Kappa Sigma Fraternity. There he met his wife, Suzanne, the sister of a fraternity brother. People thought they were too young to marry, but Butch and Suzanne were happily married for 57 years, until she died in 1988. Meredith's first job at General Mills was selling flour to Spanish-speaking clients in Los Angeles. In 1944 he was drafted into the Army, after which he returned to his job at General Mills. During his 33 years at the firm, he worked his way up to Western Division Manager. Meredith was a big fan of Buckeye football. He funded numerous scholarships for athletes and other students at Ohio State University. He had no children of his own, but his wisdom and advice was appreciated by many younger friends who looked up to him and enjoyed listening to his stories of the old days. He loved life and lived it to the fullest. An avid golfer and walker during his retirement, Meredith stayed quite fit until the last couple of years. Meredith's sharp mind, sense of humor, outgoing nature, and faith, which served him so well in his career, remained through his recent illness and up until his death. Meredith was buried next to his beloved Suzanne in a private ceremony on June 14, in Alta Mesa Memorial Park, Palo Alto. A celebration of his life will be held at 2:00 p.m., Sunday, July 7, at Bethany Lutheran Church, 1095 Cloud Ave., Menlo Park. Arrangements by Los Altos Chapel of SPANGLER MORTUARIES, 399 S.
