Not sure what to say?

Grief can be so hard, but our special memories help us cope. Remembering you and your loved one today and always.

Dear Eileen, Terry, Bridget, Mitchell, and Bradley,
We were so sorry to hear of this great loss of your father and grandfather. We know what a difficult time this is for you, but know that as long as you keep him in your heart, he will always be with you. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. The Brancati Family - Victor, Marie, and Victor

Unfortunately, the Cashion Crew never got to know "Papa Muff" in person, but we have the blessing of knowing the legacy he has left behind in his grandson Brian "Lefty" McCullough! And now, hopefully, we'll be growing some of his avocado trees with the seeds that Brian has "smuggled" back to College Station, Texas! God rest your soul Papa Muff and thank you for the beautiful family you have left with this world! Peace and Blessings to all of his family.

The Cashion Crew

Harry and Rita Muff, and their special family, are tops among my fondest memories of growing up in San Jose. Thank You, Harry, for your example, your kind words and encouragements, and your mentoring in teaching me how to grow a garden.

Dear Mary and Family,
We were fortunate to know Harry as long as we have lived in California and always enjoyed his company at your family gatherings. He was so kind and gentle and loving to us and our children and we will hold him in our hearts forever.

Harry was a kind, lovely man with a wonderful sense of humor who valued family and supported them completely. He helped out my young family by allowing us to live cheaply at one of his properties. His help gave us the leg up to finally be able to afford our own home years later. We will never forget his kindness and generosity.

I always admired your work ethic Harry. Watching you tend to your orchard from next door, I was always amazed at your dedication and energy. I was fortunate to have you as a neighbor for the past 35 years. You truly epitomize the "Greatest Generation". Rest in Peace Harry.

I worked with Harry at Memorex in the early 70's. Although I was just starting my career, I really enjoyed visiting with Harry and greatly admired him. You could just tell at one glance what an honest and generous man he was. My condolances.

Fun Times

You set a wonderful example of how life should be lived. You made each person feel special. All the 49er games and projects you and Terry shared are treasured memories. We will miss you Daddy. Your littlest girl, Eileen
