To the Muller family,
We were so sorry to hear of your father's death and also your mother's death. Roger(O.D.) so enjoyed his year in Green Bay practicing with your father( 1963-64). He was a great teacher in Roger's first year of practice. We loved sharing time with the family along with our very young son, Russell. He gave Roger an opportunity of having his own little practice in Denmark. Again, our thoughts and prayers are with you, today.
