I will miss Uncle John even though we were miles apart I kept him in my heart.
I have many cherished memories of Uncle John from family celebrations and gatherings.
May his sisters and brothers, my mother Agnes included, whom have gone before him welcome him home.
My heartfelt condolences to Uncle John's family. May God's peace & comfort console you.
I extend my sympathy and my prayers to Mickey and all the family on the loss of John. I remember John has a kind, caring, faith-filled man with a quick sense of humor. He seldom missed Mass or the rosary and was already ready for the Bible Study Group or a music group. May John now Rest In Peace with the God whom he loved and may he sing with the angels! May God bless all of the family with loving memories. Sister Sue Reif, OSF
I was so very sorry to hear of the loss of your husband/father. I have such wonderful memories of each of you in your family and am SO very sorry that I have conflicts with both the time of the wake service and the funeral, as I would SO love to be there. Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers!

I appreciated John so much when he prepared taxes at H&R Block for a few years. As the receptionist he was always so fair and kind to me and made sure the rest of the "guys" followed suit. I loved his sense of humor; he made working there a good job during the tax season. My thoughts and concerns are with your family.
My sympathy to your family on the loss of John. I remember him as a kind, funny and thoughtful man. Like all the Muehlenbein family he will be missed but not forgotten.
So sorry to hear of this sad news. We will not be able to attend the services but please accept our condolences. Rich and Mary Jo Kohl. (Johns sister Agnes was my mother)
Our sympathy Sara and your family at this time of loss of your Dad. I'm sure he lived a fulfilled life. Cherish all those memories of your Dad within your heart ❤️
