Richard "Rick" Mueller 1949-2014
ACBL Tournament Director Richard
Mueller died of cancer Oct. 10. Mueller,
of Hillside IL in the Chicago area, was 65.
An ACBL employee since 1999, Mueller
was also an ACBL accredited teacher and
Easybridge! presenter.
Friend and fellow tournament director Diane Martin said, "Rick possessed a
very clever, dry wit, and he was very quick
with expressing it. I remember an occasion at a tournament when a permanently disgruntled player
approached us as we were selling entries. Before she could
complain (yet again), Rick - with his huge smile and twinkling
blue eyes - asked, 'Is anything all right?' She only thought for a
moment before she started laughing.
"Rick also frequently said, 'My grandma said that there's two
sides to a pancake, no matter how thin they are, and he tried to
figure out both of them.'
"He fought a courageous fight right up until the end. He
would not let go until he decided he had done everything he
needed to do. I was with him when he said, 'That's it, I'm finished.' He taught me more about living when he was dying
than I could ever imagine. I miss our daily chats."
Mueller is survived by his spouse, Jose Flores.
