Meyer Grojean, 92, passed away on March 13, 2015. Meyer was born on August 14, 1922 to Gregory and Josephine-Meyer Grojean near Dutchtown, Mo., on the farm which has been in his mother’s family since 1876. He was the oldest of four sons.
Meyer graduated from College High School in Cape Girardeau, Mo., and Rockhurst University in Kansas City, Mo.
