My hero. I was only 5 years old when you passed but you will always be one of my very favorite uncles. I still remember the beautiful service and that police motorcade from louisville to new albany indiana where you RIP. I remember good times with you and you shaped part of my life forever. I know my mom and dad were dancing when they saw you in heaven. I love you uncle Bill. Heros are never forgotten! Til we meet again RIP.

I was 12 when Officer Meyer was killed, and like the writer above, I never pass by this location without thinking about him. I remember at the time of the murder it was fortunate I wasn't there at the time, as my mother and I were at the Gardner Lane Shopping Center all the time. And of course, we kept shopping their all the time.

My father was an attorney, so after the men were captured I asked my dad if I could attend a portion of the trial and he said yes. Although he had no connection to the case, he talked to some court people and they promised they'd keep an eye on me. I think I was the only kid in the courtroom. I remember looking at them and thinking "why would you kill an innocent man like this?" That image stayed with me a very long time as well.

A couple of years after the murder, I met a kid at school by the same name of the officer, and feeling a bit of trepidation, I asked him if he was his son, and Bill said yes.

To this day I feel a sense of angst whenever I think about the murder of Officer William Meyer.

I was just a child of 10 when this horrible incident happened but it has remained with me all these years. Whenever I past the location, I think of your bravery and feel proud of the job you officers do. I ended up working at that same grocery store where you confronted the robbers. RIP and thank you so much for your service to keep us safe. I am sure you are safe now in heaven
