Rick Meyer, known as “Mr. Winfield” due to his work for the city and assistance with numerous events around town, died Saturday after an illness. Meyer, 71, had worked for the City of Winfield for just shy of 35 years, according to Winfield city manager Taggart Wall. At the time of his death, Meyer was the city’s facilities service coordinator. Wall said Meyer began working for the city after his previous employer, St. John’s College, closed down. “Rick was known for his grin and wit,” Wall said. “He always had a way of pulling people together to get things done.” Mr. Winfield, as Myer was affectionately called, was a public servant for the City of Winfield until the end. Rick was not only a special part of our city family — he was woven into the fabric of many local organizations,” Wall said.
