Elizabeth K. "Beth" Womack of Ruston, a former Meade student, described him as: "so young at heart and full of life. It was a blessing to be able to share a few years of his life. He shared so much information with his students and genuinely loved to educate. He was such a character, and I will miss him dearly."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.stewartfamilyfuneral.com/obituaries/C-Meade/|title=Life Tributes Page: C.
