Bristol
John H. Meyer, 74, of Bristol, passed away at home on February 17, 2024, surrounded by his cherished family. He was born February 21, 1949, to Melvin and Vera (Mason) Meyer. John graduated from Warren Township High School. John was a proud military Veteran who was drafted into the Army and served in Vietnam as a radio operator.
