Not sure what to say?

God Bless you Don. I was so in awh of you as a teen-ager and after 47 years you will always hold a special part of my heart. There are so many wonderful comments already posted and they make me smile thru the tears. Don, you were very loved and will be greatly missed by so many.

I learned so much from Mueller! Speech class at Baker was not easy, and I learned so much about "public speaking" from him during my freshman year. I still use some of his techniques today!

Playing the piano for the Ballad of Black Jack was one of the highlights of my Baker experience! Mr. Mueller's expectations were high and always led to quality productions. Any who were ever part of the pLaymen also knew the group provided a unique experience that would long be remembered. ...

So sorry to hear of Don's passing. I had the honor of singing in the Tonganoxie UMC Choir under his direction. He was indeed a very gifted musician, and a wonderful man...

Some of my most cherished memories of my time at Baker University were while travelling and performing with the Baker pLaymen under Don Mueller's direction. His talent and passion for bringing music and a message to many were remarkable. I am better for having known him.

I was lucky enough to sing in a choir he directed, be in a congregation where he preached and sing in a group under his direction. Such talent like Don's is rarely experienced. He lived and breathed music. I will have to admit I don't remember too many sermons from my 60 plus years, but I remember several of Don's. I have known so many people in my life who made a difference, but with Don it was extra special. He taught me so much, he encouraged me musically as well as in my personal life....

Many years of respecting and enjoying Don and his work with people. He was a talented and caring man. I am happy to have shared a few years with him through our work with the Baker students and community.

I'm sorry for your loss. May God give you and your family peace in your time of sorrow.
