Robert Francis “Bob” Muller of Wayne, New Jersey passed away on Wednesday, May 13,  2020 at the age of 86.  Bob was a 50-plus year resident of Wayne and longtime President of Farrar Filter Service Co. of Paterson.

Bob is survived by his wife Eileen; his son Robert of Wayne, his daughter Kim Bell and her husband Kevin of Ramsey, and his son Keith and his wife Kristine of Wayne; and seven grandchildren: Thomas, Katherine, Brian, Jessica, Zachary, Nicholas and Dylan. He was predeceased by Carol, his first wife of close to 55 years, and his sister Carole.

Bob was born and raised in Clifton to Joseph and Marian in 1933.  A graduate of Clifton High School, he served in the Combat Engineer Battalion of the U.S. Army at the conclusion of the Korean War.  Stationed in the DMZ zone in Korea, he was awarded the Distinguished Service Medal.  Upon returning from Korea, Bob worked for 25 years in the newspaper distribution business.  In 1988 he purchased Farrar Filter and served as President until his retirement.

Bob’s interests included buying and renovating commercial properties, classic cars and his winter home in North Ft. Myers, Florida.  He traveled extensively including driving across country half a dozen times.  He was involved in the Wayne PAL and was an active member of the Wayne Presbyterian church.

Those planning an expression of sympathy in Bob's name are asked to consider: Special Olympics NJ - Area 3, c/o Betty Lunn, 201 Tulsa Trail Hopatcong, NJ 07843
