Janine and I have known Bruce since our Anaheim days. We first met Bruce when he was a part of the Acoustics group. Bruce was a great guy, wonderful to work with and always willing to teach. We are very sorry to hear of his passing at such a young age. He will be sorely missed and our thoughts and prayers are with his family.

Bruce and I were two of six Cal Poly grads that joined Northrop Anaheim in June 1966. We were the only two that stayed beyond just a few years. We worked together "learning our trade" on the MTRE program where most of out mentors were much older. As a result we became the experts on designs that had transistors and integrated circuits. It was a fun time and a great place to work.
I read about Bruce in a news article about a month ago and was sorry to hear about his health. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family.

Bruce Mueller was our classmate and I knew him from 7th Grade on. He was always a nice boy, quiet,cheerful, pleasant, unassuming, did his job and never made trouble. He was the kind of solid citizen that every family, community, nation needs. His admirable traits make our world a peaceful, caring place. We will miss you.
