May 6, 200917 yr comment_231567 My father, Lt Col. Kenneth Mueller (I'm actually the II), passed away today at 3:15 PDT. He almost made his 90th birthday, which is May 29. He had a great life, cheated death many times and died quietly at home, as was his wish. He was a veteran of WWII, Korea and Vietnam. I would just like to ask HCers to send some good thoughts his way and for the drinkers to drink something in his honor. Thanks. See you at CanJam. Report
May 6, 200917 yr Author comment_231569 Thanks. I see I forgot to mention what service he was in. It was the USAF. Report
May 7, 200917 yr comment_231574 My sincerest condolences Ken. Sounds like your dad lived a very full and fullfilling life. I know what you are saying regarding cheating death. My father-in-law was in the Army during WWII in the Phillipines and was slated to invade Japan. He always said if that had happened he knew he wouldn't be coming back... it sure gave him a different outlook on the rest of his life. Report

May 7, 200917 yr comment_231597 Ken, sorry for your loss. I'm pouring a glass of pappy as soon as I'm done posting this. See you in 3 weeks. Report
May 7, 200917 yr comment_231604 We have a lot in common. My Father started in the Army Air Corp in WWII, and made the military his life. One tour in Korea and two stints in Vietnam being among the first of the "Kennedy Advisor's". He passed three years hence and lived a full and meaningful existence. They are probably swapping stories as I'm typing! CHEERS.... Report
