I've worked with son Paul at the University of Southern California for 30 years. I had the privilege of meeting both his mother Diane and Meyer years ago and I wish the family peace in this time of sorrow.

To The Family of Meyer Kovich:

My wife Joan, and I offer our condolences to each and everyone of you. Through Wilmar Printing, I have known Meyer for over 60 years and he was truly gentle, kind and well respected both in the printing field and beyond.
My Dad, Harold Sr. and later my brother Harold Jr. made direct contact with Meyer as a valued customer and friend, presently, they are all at peace. After I retired from Smith Typesetting I had the privilege of playing several rounds of golf with Meyer and enjoyed every moment with him. Enjoyed my visits with him at Park Place and our many chats about the White Sox. Go Sox! He will be missed by all.

May your wonderful father/grandfather be remembered by the beautiful memories he left all of us. Thinking of you at this sad time....Andi & Mike Swidler
