Kristen Meyer, Jim’s daughter, who is also a neighbor at Kristen’s Hair Studio 17, said she was thankful Cleary’s employees had thought so much of her dad to do the fundraiser for his cancer treatment expenses.
“Right now my dad has lung and colon cancer,” she said. “Dad is a fighter and this cancer battle has been ongoing for six years now. I can’t even tell them in words how much it means they are doing the fundraiser.”
Anthony Gonzales, an employee at Cleary’s for 12 years, said Mr. Meyer has meant a considerable amount to the Wood River community and the area.
“Mr. Meyer is a humble and honest man,” Gonzales said. “I hate to see such an incredible soul go through this. Prayers are with him and his family.”
