Tribute

Cobert Allan Mueller, 64, passed away at Carle Foundation Hospital in Urbana, Illinois after a long and courageous battle with congestive heart failure and bladder cancer. He grew up in Stewardson, Illinois. At the young age of 14, Cobe began working in the autobody industry and this would be his career for the next 38 years. On June 23, 1989, he married the love of his life, Kathleen and they spent 35 wonderful years together. Cobe also was talented and a skilled wood craftsman. He ran his own workshop, "the Wood N' Turn Shop". Among his many achievements, he built 2 homes, a stunning spiral staircase for the home, and an in-ground pool that became the center of countless cherished family and friend gatherings over the years. Cobe and Kathy also shared a love for traveling to casinos and became an expert craps players. His passion for the game even extended to their home, where he had a craps table in place of a kitchen table and delighted in teaching family and friends how to play. Cobe will be remembered as a devoted grandfather and husband, a jokester with a sharp wit and a man whose sternness always stemmed from his deep passion for those he loved. He leaves behind a legacy of hard work, love and laughter that will be cherished by all who knew him. As Cobe's wishes his body was donated to Science Care where he will help future generations through improved scientific research and education.
