Meyer (Mike) Meyerson, beloved husband, father, grandfather, great grandfather, brother, uncle and friend to everyone he encountered, is survived by his son Alan Meyerson, his daughters Barbara Stallone and Andrea Meyerson, his step-son John Del Mano, his daughters-in-law Mary Meyerson and Maureen Guthman; his grandchildren Erik (and Janice) and Scott Kaufman; his great grandchildren Brendan, Sydney, Shayna, Dylan, Jayce and Jordon; his sister Shirley Rickus and brother David (and Arlene) Meyerson, and his many dear nieces and nephews. 

Mike created and ran Meyerson Tax Service where he personally prepared nearly 400 tax returns yearly. It gave him great joy to help his clients, although he always referred to them as his friends. His greatest joy in life was to help others and never said no to anyone in need. He was a kind and loving soul with a heart of gold.

He loved dancing, and in 1967 he met the love of his life, Alice Meyerson at a ballroom dance. They fell in love, married and danced for 47 wonderful years until she passed in May 2013. They are now dancing in heaven together.

Mike is an Honorably Discharged Veteran of the United States Navy, having served during WWII in the Northern Pacific Ocean. He was awarded the Purple Heart Medal.

He lived everyday to the fullest spreading his joy, happiness and love of life. With an undying sense of humor and never without a joke at hand, he brought laughter to all who were lucky enough to have ever been in his presence. Mike will be greatly missed and his memory cherished by the thousands of lives he has touched. Mike was killed by a drunk driver as he left Yom Kippur services at Temple Akiba. He will remain forever in our hearts. Memorial Services were held on Friday, October 10th.
