He was born on December 12, 1925, in Green Bay, the son of German immigrant parents Paul and Margaret Naesar Mueller.

He also played organ and served as a Choir Director for the church. He avidly enjoyed stamp collecting, tracing family genealogy and flower gardening until age and health no longer allowed it.
