Not sure what to say?

Mr. Mueller was a piller of strength for the community and an incredible neighbor! He was one of the nicest people I have had the honor of knowing. We talked many times over the bushes that separated his house from my parents house. The Mueller's will always have a special spot in my heart for being the good folks that they are. Goodbye neighbor and know that we will miss you...........Peace be the journey.....

Two things stand out when I think of Hans: integrity and respect. He was always so kind and friendly. I know that his family will draw comfort from our eternal God and also from Hans' life, so well lived.

Mr. Mueller was on the District 210 Board of Education when I was hired to teach in Frankfort in 1978. As much as I was fortunate to be brought aboard to teach at Lincoln-Way East, I more appreciated that Mr. Mueller remembered my name when I would often run into him in the halls and he would give me sage, fatherly, advice.

He was a solid guy and represented 'The Lincoln Way' (as we called it) of a different era that we teachers were lucky to have supporting us.

God...

Hans was a friend and mentor as well as a great boss. I have thought of him often over the years. He was the model of what a gentleman should be. I celebrate his life and times.

Blessings to all of you, with many fond memories of a great friend and neighbor. Love to all of you. Juanita Manhart, Bickner and Menconi families.
