John Francis Meurer
Aydlett – John Francis Meurer, 81, died of natural causes in Kill Devil Hills, NC, on April 18, 2019. He was born in New York City, NY, and led a colorful life.

He was an avid fisherman and big game hunter. John eventually moved his real estate business to Colorado, and then to the Outer Banks of North Carolina.
John shared the last 36 years with his wife, Linda. He is also survived by their children, Timothy Janesky, Alison Schneider and Karin Taube, and his brother, Ross Meurer.

My condolences to Linda and family. John was my stepfather for most of my childhood growing up in South Salem NY. I looked up to him as he taught me many things; hunting, fishing, sports and life in general. I saw him as a man who believed he could accomplish almost anything in life if you truly believed in what it was you were trying to accomplish. I also lived with him in Saint Croix US Virgin Islands working as a swimmer guide and 1st mate on his glass bottom touring and fishing boats. I owe him alot of gratitude for helping me become the person I am today. I am sorry for your loss Linda but like John would always say “keep the fire burning” Best Tom Loggia
