Fred Meijer was famous for his Meijer grocery stores, but will be remembered for the way he generously gave back to West Michigan.





In 1995, Meijer brought us the Frederick Meijer Gardens and Sculpture Park. I've been there many times: a wedding, school field trips with the kids, concerts, to see the butterflies, to enjoy a nice summer day, and more. It is already hard to imagine Grand Rapids without The Gardens.

Fred Meijer once said, "I want to leave the world in a little better shape than when I entered it." I think we can all agree, he certainly did.
