  Biography	From his obituary in the Norwalk Hour: Roger L. Muller Resident of Wilton Roger L. Muller, of Wilton, CT, passed away May 20th from cancer following a brief illness. Born in 1925 to Carlos and Maria Statius-Muller, Roger lived to be an impressive 87, just missing his next birthday on June 7th. Roger grew up in Brooklyn, attending Erasmus High School, where he played varsity football and baseball. In 1944, he was inducted into the Navy at the young age of 18, where an aptitude test led him to be trained and to serve his country as an Electrician's Mate 3rd Class. Discharged May 6th, 1946, he went on to Sampson College under the G.I. Bill. After matriculating, he was employed by U.S. Rubber and Kaiser Aluminum. One of the highlights of his career at Kaiser Aluminum includes switching the wiring at Madison Square Garden from copper to aluminum. On September 6th 1959, he met and married the love of his life, Pamela A. Archibald. They made their home in Rowayton, CT with their two children, Tony and Brooke. Dedicated to his community, Roger took every opportunity to get involved. He taught First Holy Communion at St. Joseph's church in Norwalk, was the treasurer for the Rowayton Civic Association and a member of the Republican Town Committee for the 6th Taxing District. He also continued a lifelong passion for baseball by coaching Little League. Roger's involvement even extended to assisting Frank Espisito in his first run for mayor of Norwalk. In his spare time, Roger enjoyed reading and was an avid tennis player, playing competitively into his 70s. He could often be found playing at the courts of his beloved Bailey Beach or searching the stacks of Wilton Library for a good book. Roger is predeceased by his wife, Pamela A. Muller, son, Anthony Muller, brother, Albert Muller, and his sisters, Josephine Cahill and Norma O'Conner. He is survived by his daughter and son-in-law Brooke and Larry Brown and their children, Larry Brown Jr., Hannah Brown, and Georgia Brown. A memorial service will be held on June 9th at 10:30 am in Our Lady of Fatima Church, 225 Danbury Road, Wilton. The family requests, in lieu of flowers, contributions be made to the American Cancer Society. Internment will be private and there will be no calling hours.
