Ernie Jr was a memorable nephew. If u needed help he jumped at the chance to help. He always had a smile on his face. Don’t you agree. He was the son of my sister Joan Sheppard Mueller. The mueller family are a close bunch and still are very very close holding each other up. They are a beautiful growing family. I love Gretta and their two children. I wish Ernie Jr was still on this earth for then. Keep him in your heart. He is with you. Aunt Mary Helen Sheppard ODonnell

I am sad to learn of Ernie's passing. Almost, not believing it is true. When Ernie Mueller was your friend, You, indeed, had a friend for life. My Family and I were so proud to consider ourselves, his friend. And, that friendship also goes for Gretta, Emma, and Ernie. He was kind, joyful, helpful, and so many other things. Dear Gretta, Emma, Ernie, and all extended Family, just know you are in our hearts and prayers, and we are here for you. Thank You, for your years of kindness and understanding to our Family. Ernie will not be forgotten and he will be greatly missed.---Blessings---June Barron.

Ernie my dear friend I will forever miss our friendship and times together. To say I am saddened is an understatement. Our friendship over the last 25 years will forever be etched in my mind. Our time together was always entertaining and memorable to say the least. Your smile, laugh and grin are a trademark that cannot be matched. I will always carry our memories and epic times together. You were always smiling, laughing and positive. You were a role model on how one can make a difference. I didn't lose just a co-worker or friend I lost a brother. I both laugh and cry as I write this and shall miss you until we meet again.I know everything you did was for your family and friends, a true testimony of who you were, a self made man, husband and father. I was both grateful and extremely lucky to be your friend. Good bye for now Ernesto. Greta, Ernie and Emma I am so sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers will always be with you.
With much love
