Ronald A. Meier, 72, of Charlestown, died peacefully May 18, 2022, after a long battle with

cancer. He was born on March 11, 1950, in Winchester, MA, the son of Alvin A. Meier and

Harriett (Colburne) Fullilove. Ron grew up on Martin's Pond in North Reading, MA.

Following high school, he enlisted in the U.S.Navy. He was stationed on the USS TIDEWATER

and served in the Vietnam war as a Navy Seal for two tours. After his discharge, he returned to

New England, and settled in Charlestown, NH in 1971. He was trained as a flooring installer and

then started his own installation and carpentry business. Ron worked in the twin state area for

over 35 years.

He was an avid outdoorsman, enjoying hunting and fishing immensely. He was also known to

ride a snowmobile too fast every once in a while. Later in life, Ron took up golf and never turned

down an opportunity to play. He was very social and enjoyed being around friends.

Ron was married to Deborah K. Meier for 32 years. She passed away in 2002. He later

reconnected with his childhood sweetheart, Frances W. Benjamin and the two married in 2004.

They moved to Ocala, FL shortly after. Ron and Fran returned to Charlestown permanently in

2018, calling Crown Point Drive home.

In addition to his father and first wife, he was predeceased by a brother, Richard.

Surviving family include his wife, Frances, daughter, Elizabeth and her husband David Thibault.

Robert Meier Jr-the nephew that he called his son, stepchildren Rich, Rhonda, Randy and

Ronnie Benjamin and their respective partners/spouses; his mother, Harriet Fullilove; three

brothers, Robert, Roger, and Randall Meier; and his best friend, Walter Piletz Jr. The two men

always had some adventure or comical hunting/fishing story to share that would make others

laugh with tears.

Ron also leaves behind his grandchildren Brooke and Aden Thibault, Tyler, Joe, Mitch, Crystal,

Aaron and Brienne Benjamin; and his beloved yorkie, Lexi.

Visiting hours will be held from 10 am to 12 pm Saturday, May 28, 2022, at Stringers

Charlestown Memorial Chapel, 34 Main Street, Charlestown. A Celebration of Life luncheon

will follow at the Charlestown VFW Auxiliary Post, 365 Lovers Lane Rd, Charlestown, from

12:30 to 3:00 pm.

The family would like to thank Lake Sunapee Region VNA & Hospice and the nurses and

doctors at the White River Junction VA Medical Center for the excellent care that they provided

to Ron.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to Lake Sunapee Region VNA &

Hospice.
