Robert “Bob” Mueller

Robert “Bob” Mueller, age 88, of Cape Coral, Fla., passed away on Jan. 23, 2026.

He was born Sept. 1, 1937, in Grafton, Wis., to Alex and Viola (Gosewehr) Mueller.

Bob spent his childhood and the first chapter of his life in the Grafton area, starting a family with Ann (Pipkorn) Mueller and working tirelessly for many years at EST Co. before retiring.

In his second chapter, Bob married Susan (Haut) Mueller and enjoyed years of traveling and living in New Mexico, the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, Minnesota and finally Cape Coral, with their numerous furry friends by his side. One constant through the years was Bob’s love for the outdoors — a passion he passed down to all his boys. To Bob, these weren’t just hobbies; they were a way to connect with those he loved most.

Bob is survived by his loving wife of 32 years, Susan; his boys Timothy (Michelle), Daniel (Jodi), Michael (JoAnn) and Steve; beloved grandchildren Ella, Erika, Mathew, Jacob and Cody; brother Gerald (Jerry) Mueller; and many nieces and nephews.

He was preceded in death by his parents and sister-in-law Geraldine (Bunny) Mueller.

Burial plans are pending in Grafton for later in the year.
