James S. Muller

James (Jim) Stephen Muller, 46, President and owner of Advanced Powder Coatings, Intec APC, Denver PA., began his life on News Years Day,1964.

In the early hours of March 14, 2010, he left from his home to be with God, following a heroic battle.

He leaves behind a loving wife, Carol; children, Garrett and Delaney; daughter-in-law, Noemi; grandchildren, Dominick James and Alyssa Samantha; sisters, Renee, widow of Karl Krummenoehl and Nancy O'Donnel; and nieces and nephews, Joshua, Arwen, Kara, Brendan, Kealan, and Liam.

Born in Reading, PA, he was a son of Teresa (Fath) Muller and the late Jacob S. Muller.

Jim was an accomplished engineer in the field of powder coating, wholly respected by his peers and business associates for his expertise in powder coating manufacture and execution. He was proud to consider it his life's work.

Jim was a 1981 Holy Name graduate and an alumnus of Penn State, earning a Bachelor of Science degree in 1985. He was also a lifetime member of the Penn State Alumni association.

He was an avid Penn State football fan, a skier, a passionate golfer and boater. He also enjoyed fishing, Jimmy Buffett music, and was a certified scuba diver.

Those who knew Jim knew him as an outgoing lover of life and the outdoors, and as a devoted family man.

Loving to socialize, he was a member of the Gouglersville Fire Company, the Lincoln Park Fire Company, and the Adamstown Rod and Gun Club.

He and his wife shared a love of travel to the Caribbean, where they had married and honeymooned. He was blessed with many friends and cherished by many family members, who will remain surrounded by his love today and for forever.

Jim leaves us with the prayer that brought him peace as he courageously fought his terminal disease: "God Grant me the serenity to accept the things I can not change, the courage to change the things that I can, and the wisdom to know the difference." Jim Muller - missed and loved, now and always.
