He was born January 1st, 1932 in Clarion County to Donald Myers and Dorothy Platt Myers.

He married Charylene Stewart on June 9th, 1954. He is lovingly remembered by a large family.

There are six grandchildren, Bryan (Daphne) Vogle, Adam (Samantha) Vogle, Frederick Lawrence all of Sligo, Samantha (Jason) Howard of Knox, Roxanne (Cody) McCullough of Clarion, and Evan (Liz) Black of Gaithersburg, MD. He enjoyed joking and giving quarters to his eight great-grandchildren, Kristian, Karter, Kennedy, Tiana, and Anika Vogle of Sligo, Logan and Nicholas Howard of Knox, and Kynleigh Best of Clarion. He is survived by two sisters and a brother-in-law, Nellie Ruth Arner and Jennie Lou Ditty of Rimersburg and Larry (Grace) Stewart of Delaware.

He was known to be very active in his community. After graduating from Clarion High School, he served four years during the Korea Conflict in the US Air Force. He served as constable (Chief of Police) of Sligo Boro. He also was a supervisor at C&K Coal. He was a member of Sligo United Methodist Church, Sligo VFD, Sligo Lion's Club, Shriners, and Freemasons. He enjoyed driving Zem Zem trikes during numerous parades in the 80's. He helped make the old signs that greeted visitors to Sligo until recently.

He is preceded in death by two children, Fred L.
