He was the eldest of four children and the last surviving child born to Evelyn (Chance) Meadows and Linden (Pinky) Meadows Sr. He graduated from Ottumwa High School in 1948 and went to work for the Ottumwa Courier, where he had the opportunity to get a picture taken while meeting and shaking hands with the 33rd President of the United States, Harry S. Truman. He served in the U.S. Air Force from 1951 - 1954 and during that time he married the love of his life, Delores Jean Campbell on August 19, 1951. He attended Vallejo Junior College in California, after his military service, and later transferred to San Jose State University in 1958, earning a bachelor's degree in Accounting. While at San Jose State University he became a member of the Alpha Beta Sigma, which is an honor society for accounting students. After college graduation, he worked for many notable companies in the San Francisco Bay Area: Ampex, Fairchild, Lockheed, Varian, Coherent and Westinghouse from which he retired at the age of sixty-five in 1995. Some of his passions included running, attending SJSU and Stanford sporting events, attending his Grandchildren's and Great-Grandchildren's sporting events. Dad was a coach and umpire for the Little League Baseball in Palo Alto, CA and was a member of the American Legion organization and Palo Alto Post #375 for over 40 years and received recognition for his years of dedication.
