Mr. Meckley collected erector sets, built model cars, enjoyed woodworking, completing puzzles, watching car races, antiquing, listening to music, and loved making his lawn look immaculate. He took pride in everything he did.

In addition to his wife of more than 20 years, survivors include four children, Shannon L. Meckley, Corey L. Meckley, both of Hanover, Steven C. Caswell and his fiancée, Christina K. Myers, of Abbottstown, and Alicia C. Caswell of Hanover; three grandchildren, Natalie A. and Hailey A. Meckley, and Mina R. Caswell; two brothers, Kenneth and Leonard Meckley; three sisters, Patricia Aldridge, Darlene Slothour and Shirley Rohrbaugh; and his many nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by a sister, Nancy Kenawell.

A graveside service will be held at 2:30 PM Saturday, January 8, 2022 at Rest Haven Cemetery, corner of Westminster and Boundary Avenues in Hanover, with The Rev. Fred Stevenson officiating. The family will receive friends at a viewing to be held from 5 to 8:00 PM Friday at Panebaker Funeral Home & Cremation Care Center, Inc., 311 Broadway, Hanover.
