Mom Mueller, Patty, Billy, Auntie, Margaret, Katharine, and all those who knew and loved this wonderful man,
Words are so inadequate at times like this. We feel your sadness, share your heartbreak and honor your love for Das Bear. I remember Dad Mueller as always smiling and always patient. The best coach and teacher for -- as well as a fan of -- all the kids whose lives he touched. He conveyed much more than the mechanics of the sports for which he was a coach and referee....he truly taught the whole student-athlete. I know how much he cared about guiding and shaping young people into good players and, more importantly, good people.
From plucking me out of a tree when I climbed too high to spending hours and hours teaching me to waterski....he never discouraged or scolded or gave up. I loved how he chuckled every time he called Margaret "Patty" when Miss M was younger. I don't think I ever saw him grumpy and his love for his family absolutely beamed out of him, brighter than the sun.
Rest well. You will be missed and never forgotten.
With love from Lizzie and Dave
