Harold "Snake" Bernard Meyer, age 80, passed away Monday, April 28,2025 in Slidell, Louisiana. Born on May 12, 1944, in the Saint Roch area of the 9th Ward of New Orleans, Louisiana, Snake lived a full and dedicated life marked by hard work, neighborhood involvement and devotion to his family.

A proud graduate of Nicholls High School, he went on to build a long and successful career at Laitram Corporation.  Over the course of 44 years with the company, he earned the respect of colleagues through his commitment and reliability before retiring in 2014.  He was a resident of St Bernard Parish for 38 years, relocating to Slidell, Louisiana after Hurricane Katrina in 2005.

Snake served honorably in the Louisiana National Guard, reflecting his deep sense of duty and service.  Beyond his professional and military contributions, he was an active member of several local organizations that brought him joy and camaraderie.  He was involved with the Poor Man's Yacht Club and the Krewe of Bilge and could be found staying active at Cross Gates Gym.

He is lovingly remembered by his wife of 57 years, Ruth "Ruthie" Rose Barbe; his sons, Scott Meyer (Jennie) and Jeffery Meyer (Marilyn); and his four grandchildren, Josh Pontecorvo, Kendall Meyer, Sydnee Meyer and Jayden Pontecorvo.  His presence will be deeply missed by all who knew him.
