He was my best friend back when I met him in 2006, and he's still my best friend. He truly cared about people. Especially youth and pushing them to do great things and excel into greater things. Not a day goes by where I don't think of you, and not a Thanksgiving goes by where I don't hear your laugh and your traditional thanksgiving joke. Love you and miss you forever, and forever will you be in my heart and memory.

Father Muller was a beautiful person and friend who truly truly cared about making a difference in this world. He was with Desiree and I when our beloved "father" passed away and helped ease our suffering with his kindness. St. Finbar and all mankind lost a true spiritual hero and gained an Angel. With love Desiree Ghisolfi and Debra Bonneau

Father Mueller was the pastor at St. Anthony of Padua when I attended there K-8. He was always pushing me to do more, work harder and serve God because he knew I had the ability to do great things. He administered me my 1st Communion and I still have pictures with him in my house. May the soul of the faithful departed rest in everlasting peace. ~S

Father Muller blessed my parents during their wedding vows for their 50th annivesary back in January 2006 on the day of his installation mass. This is the same church my parents got married in 50 yrs ago. What a speacial treat for my parents and him. He was a very nice man. I remember meeting with him before the event. He was very accomodating. He will sorely be missed.

We had a fire 9/9/09. When I arrived home Fr. Mueller was already in front of the house with Mom , he was even concerned about our pet.. We always felt sure of his prayers, even now. We will miss him.

I worked with Father Mueller when he was pastor of St. Margaret Mary. At that time I was a teen growing up in a tough neighborhood and I was not alone. I remember him taking us all in and providing programs for us that would keep us safe and out of trouble. Saturdays were the best, he would buy cold cuts, italian bread and all the fixin's and he would let us sit around the table and eat as much or as little as we wanted. He was truly special to all he came into contact with. He was especially special to our family - he was a part of many christenings, communions, confirmations, matrimonies (mine included) and funerals even after he moved from our parish. Words cannot express how much of an effect he had on my life in particular. He was a great boss, teacher, confidant, counselor and mentor. What a gift to our community of believers. God Bless Father Mueller.
