Meyer is survived by his wife of 50 years, Phyllis Caponetti Meyer; his daughters, Cohen and Sue Meyer Ross, of Brookline, Mass.; and five grandchildren.
“The fact that he lost his life in this violent way, crossing the street, just seems not right and unjust,” she said. “It seems really disrespectful to a man who gave so much to his country and to his community. That’s just one of the reasons my family and I hope to get some answers to what happened (and) to have somebody step forward and take responsibility.”
About two weeks after her father was killed in a hit-and-run wreck on Savannah’s southside, Deb Meyer Cohen came to Savannah to ask whoever did it to come forward.
Cohen, of Oakton, Va., spoke to media Wednesday morning at the VFW Post 660 on Ogeechee Road. She described her father, Peter J. Meyer, as a wonderful man who went out of his way to do the right thing.
“He was a very good, noble man,” Cohen said of Meyer, 72, who was found dead about 10:30 p.m. Jan 4 along Aberocrn Street near Twelve Oaks shopping center. “... He would never get dirty; he always did the right thing, even if there was some personal cost to him.
“So one of the things that I’m asking now is for people to do the right thing, to be noble, to be righteous like my dad.”
