James Straubmueller Obituary
James Morton Straubmueller, of Corinth, born on April 9, 1938 in Dallas, Texas, to Werner and Evelyn Straubmueller, passed away at age 80 on October 25, 2018 at 2:18 AM in Denton, Texas. He grew up in Fort Worth where he attended grade school and high school and a graduate of University of North Texas in Denton. He was a lifelong entrepreneur and business owner of The Roof Tile and Slate Company of Carrollton for over 30 years from which he retired. Mort was married to the love of his life, Annette Spindle Straubmueller. His greatest trait was the ability to bring laughter to everyone around him.

He is survived by his wife Annette Spindle Straubmueller; children Douglas Straubmueller and wife Susie of Dallas; Dow Straubmueller of Argyle; Staci Straubmueller of Denton; Douglas Vandever and wife Allison of Sanger; Steve Vandever of Sanger; and Julie Smith of Sanger; 13 grandchildren and 3 great grandchildren.

My memories of happy school years always include a vision of the most handsome and gentleman Mort Straumueler, Although I was not a close friend, I was a friend of his sweet sister, Louinda and mother . Many looked up to Mort as a man of character in his lifetime and his memory will live on. My love and condolences goes out to family and all the friends tonight for the loss of a very good man.
