Roy Louis MUELLER

Aus Find A Grave: Dr Roy Louis Mueller GEBURT 17 Juli 1920 Washington, USA TOD 27 Sept 2010 (im Alter von 90) Yakima, Yakima County, Washington, USA BESTATTUNG Calvary Cemetery Yakima, Yakima County, Washington, USA GEDENKSTÄTTEN-ID 180462098 Husband, father, friend and loved one, Dr. Roy Louis Mueller DDS, 90, passed away peacefully in the early morning hours of September 27th, 2010 succumbing to injuries sustained in a recent auto accident. Born in 1920 to Benjamin and Agnes Mueller, Roy, along with his twin brother Ray and older sister Frances, grew up in Sedro-Woolley, WA. An outstanding athlete, he excelled in multiple sports during high school. Following graduation, he entered Washington State College in Pullman and joined the Kappa Sigma Fraternity. Shortly after Pearl Harbor, Roy enlisted in the Navy, where he performed duties as a Gunner's Mate aboard the USS Vella Gulf in the Pacific theater. After World War II, Roy completed dental school at the University of Oregon and began a career as an Oral Surgeon with the newly formed Air Force, serving through Korea and Vietnam. Along the way, Roy was fortunate enough to meet Patricia Schwaegler on the slopes of Sun Valley, ID and wisely married her in 1956, and together, in Ankara (Turkey), Kansas, California and ultimately Selah, WA, they raised six beautiful children. After retiring in 1970 at the rank of Lieutenant Colonel with 33 years of service to his country, he set up a private practice in Yakima. Roy was a devoted husband and family man. He loved the outdoors and was an accomplished hunter and fisherman, roaming the hills of Washington with his ever faithful dogs. He instilled a love of sports, reading, poetry, fairness and family values amongst all his children. And for 53 years, he did so with his wife and best friend Patsy by his side. His accomplishments in life are too numerous to mention here, but his wife and children treasure them in their hearts, and continue to proudly live out his lasting legacy. Roy is survived by his loving wife Patsy, who having sustained injuries in the same accident, is currently recovering in Seattle; his children, Denise (Jon); Ben (Beth); Barbara (John); Louis (Julie); Martha (George) and Leon (Rika); along with 13 grandchildren continue to support their mother and grandmother. He is also survived by his sister, Frances Gunderson. The family will have a memorial service at a later date in Yakima, following Patsy's recovery. The date and time will be announced in the future. Dad, may you forever rest in peace, harbored in paradise.
