CONDOLENCES
Our hearts are so hurt by the loss of this wonderful friend. His humor just made the world a better place. We will miss him.

So sorry to read of Jim's passing. He was a positive influence in my youth and I always felt he was a stand-up, straight talking, no nonsense kind of guy. The type of person anyone would be fortune to cross paths with in their life.
My thoughts are with you.
From: Doug Brown
To the Muhlbauer Family
Sorry for your loss. I drive by the Old House on Harding Ct every day and on Saturday just happen to stop in front of the house and for some reason I remembered having a conversation with both Mr and Mrs Muhlbauer years ago.
He will be missed

James Allen Muhlbauer is my grandfather. I just wanted to let everyone know just how much myself and the rest of our family appreciate all of your kind words and thoughts during this difficult time. It's a blessing that we have each other and also we have all the amazing memories of my grandpa. He will always be the greatest man I've ever met. He was stern, sarcastic and used to make me cry just by saying my name when I was a kid!! :) But he was also the kindest, most caring and funniest man. I loved watching Jeopardy with him and my grandma bc I felt REALLY smart if I got the answer before he did!! haha. I think of him and I just see his laughter after a funny joke or story he told. He was also the kind of man that wouldn't put up with any crap from anyone BUT he would give you the shirt off of his back. And when I get married one day, I hope to be as lucky as my grandma and grandpa to find love like theirs. My gram loved him since she was 15 years old and still does and always will. And he loved her twice as much back. Their love is something that not even the bitterness of death and loss can take away. It's an eternal kind of love that will live on forever. Not many people are that lucky to find someone who makes you smile, happy and laugh every single day. And they did. And that's the kind of love that's neverending. I know in my heart that he may be in heaven but I feel him all around me and he would tell me to keep my chin up and don't mourn for him. Live life. Enjoy it while you can. He used that motto and I know that's how he feels now. Thanks again to all of his amazing friends. He definately never met a stranger. :) I love and miss you grandpa soo much<33 xoxox
PS If anyone would like to email my grandmother or myself please feel free. We do like this site also though but I've left email address here just in case. thank you all so very much!!
