Roll Call Tribute

William Charles Mueller 

September 22, 1937 - October 1, 2023 

William C. Mueller of Centerville, Texas passed away on October 1, 2023. He was 86 years old. He was born in Amarillo, Texas, went to Sunset High School in Dallas, and attended Texas A&M University and SMU. His first job was with Collins Radio. He then went on to work for Texas Instruments, ICOM Radios, and ended his working career as President of Hutton Communications.

William lived a full life and endeavored over his life to flying and working on planes, restoring classic cars and riding motorcycles. It was joked about on his fiftieth birthday that he had more cars than he had birthdays. He enjoyed shooting sports and hunting, but he loved photography and was often the person behind the lens and not in front of it.

William's interest and passion in the Amateur Radio world was a driving force for how he spent his personal and professional energy. He was a member of the Maxim Society and Life Member of ARRL. He was a founding member of and enjoyed the fellowship of the Leon County Ham Radio Club.

The family would like to thank Melva Adams for her help with William and the thoughtful care she provided leading to a peaceful transition from this life.

A memorial service for William will be Thursday, October 26, 2023 at Walters Funeral Home, Centerville, Texas. 

William is survived by his wife of sixty-one years, Carolyn; his two sons, and four grandchildren, Mason, Dalton, Ethan, and Gavin. He was preceded in death by his parents, William F. & Irene Mueller and sister, Theresa Bankston.

Arrangements are under the direction of Walters Funeral Home, Centerville, Texas.
