I remember coach as always urging us to try harder and try out best in any sports we had at BCS. This instilled in me to continue his teachings even to this day. Sorry to hear of his passing, strange I was thinking of coach and what he was doing now in early may before I read of his passing in the eastwickpress online.

Coach Muller was the kindest, fairest, teacher and coach I have every known. He was respected by his students and athletes and was a positive role model for all. Coach Muller mentored and encouraged me in my pursuit as a physical education teacher and was always very supportive. BCS was a better place because of Coach Muller. May he rest in peace! My thoughts and prayers are with his family!

Coach Muller was an inspiration for many children at Berlin Central. His genuine love of sports and children was like no other. He always encouraged us to be ourselves and do our best. The "Anderson clan" will never forget him. Please know what an incredible man he was. So sorry for your loss.

My sincerest sympathy to the family of Paul Muller. He was a classmate of mine in High Bridge High School, class of 1947. He was always smiling, pleasant,and friendly to be around. Our four years together in High Bridge High School is a very fond memory. May he rest in peace

Family--I am sorry for your loss. Coach was my gym teacher when I started kindergarten in 1961. He was a kind and gentle man --even though not a man of many words--he left a wonderful lasting impression on me, my husband John, my brother David and sister Debbie O'Dell.

My family and I all respected "Coach" as a leader, teacher, coach at BCS where we all attended school and where I worked as a teacher there during Paul's last years. He will be truly missed by many!

I remember his days teaching swimming at the CCC dam as well.
