My deepest sympathies to the Muhr family. John was certainly one of a kind.

It's hard loosing someone you love. I feel your pain having lost my own father last year. Time will heal your heart, family and friends will fill the void that is there. Troy having only meet your father one time (can't remember the year), but It was Steelers and Chiefs (Chiefs lost) on Monday night football at your house. Simply put, HE WAS A BLAST! I could see you have had a close relationship with him and your entire family. Those are what you will always hold true in your heart. Troy, Please accept my sincerest condolences and prayers. Take care And god bless.
