Dear Muellner Family,
Richard was a man of great faith and love for his family and church. He spoke with great pride in reference to his wife and family. His committment to Our Lady of the Lake Chapel on Victory Heights was obvious, he went early stayed late to help with all aspects of the Chapel and Mass. He was fun to be around and had a neat sense of humor, (The National Sarcasm Society).
Dick was always gracious and made me feel welcome when I would drop over to his place. Our conversations were candid and ranging from the serious to more light hearted. His presense will be missed. Thoughts and prayers are with you all. The Ferris Family
