Not sure what to say?

Just saw his obituary. My condolences to his loved ones. Dr. Muir delivered my daughter in 1980 and would have delivered my son in 1983 had he not been on vacation. A wonderful, caring physician, he'll be missed.

I just learned yesterday of Dr. Muir's passing. My own mother passed in July and I had to think that yet another great one has joined the ranks in heaven. Dr. Muir had a unique ability to make one feel beautiful even at a time when feeling "ugly"! His joy of living spilled over to his patients and one could not leave without feeling special after each visit. I am sad he has left this earth, but rejoice at his return to his Maker.

I am so sorry to have only heard about Dr. Muir's passing today. What a great man he was! Dr Muir delivered six of my eight babies so we got to know each other very well. With each visit, I left his office feeling uplifted, cared-for and as though I was his favorite patient. I have no doubt that he made each patient feel the same way. I will always remember him as a man of great energy and passion for everything he did- delivering babies, photography, sailing, boat building - you name...

Dr. Muir delivered my first born on August 12, 1996... the day his own father died. I remember that morning so fondly as we watched the sunrise. As we grieved for his loss, he told us that there was nothing better than bringing new life into the world on such a day. His practice has never been the same. The care, time, patience, and passion he gave are unmatched and a lesson to all of us.

How sad I am to learn of Dr. Muirs death only today. Dr. Muir delivered my two amazing sons and we had a special relationship. The night his mother died, he split his time between her intensive care unit and my labor and delivery room. He never lost focus of me or my needs, even though his family was in crisis.
He made his patients feel as though they were the only patient he had. He always put the well being of his patients above everything. He was committed to his practice and his...

We send out heartfelt symathy to JoAnn and the family. We were in practice next door in Montgomery Village for many years. Brockett delived three of our children at Sibley. All three are phycians and practice in Montgomery Village. He was a great person, a great doctor, and a wonderful human being. God will judge him generously for all the good he has done.
Love,

To the family - I am among the many patients that your beloved Dr. Muir cared for ......I saw him in Montgomery County, MD where I live. My sister Jeannie Harner Roswell e-mailed me his obit. from NJ where she lives at present. She, too, was a long time patient of his. May God bless your family beyond measure. --Faye Kessell Mathias (and Jeannie (Kessell) Harner-Roswell

To All of Dad's Patients and Friends: I had no idea that this site existed until someone mentioned casually that she had read such lovely entries about Dad. Yes, he was a very, very special husband, father, physician, sailor, farmer, and friend. Though our grief, I believe that we will find a strength within us that we never knew existed. I know that I will never, ever take getting out of bed each morning for granted, and I will have a greater compassion for my fellow man. I am comforted by...

My thoughts and prayers are with the entire Muir clan. Thanks especially to Dr. Muir's children because it couldn't have been that easy to have such a popular,smart Dr, as a Dad who had to run off to deliver babies etc. when you were young. Thanks to your Dad, my youngest child, a Muir baby,is 26 and earning her PHD. at George Wasgington U.She is a blessing,and so was your father.Peace,Anne Phillips,Monrovia,Md.
