The German Movers Association AMOE has sadly reported the death of Mr. Reinhard Mueller on 26 February, 2014.

Reinhard worked with AMOE for more than 40 years. He was General Secretary of AMOE from 1984 to 2007 and continued for the next five years on a part-time basis using his skills as lawyer for the Association. Some months before his official retirement, Reinhard became seriously ill, with a terminal illness. 

In addition to his dedicated work at AMOE, Reinhard also participated in many of the FEDEMAC General Assemblies and was very supportive of the Federation’s work. During my Presidency of FEDEMAC, during the nineties it was my pleasure to invite representatives from the various European associations to attend the BAR conferences and I know that many people will have fond memories of Reinhard – a real gentleman with a great personality. He also had a good social presence blessed with a good sense of humour – witnessed when he once joined ‘The Searchers’ singing on stage and being cheered on by the then BAR delegates.

Reinhard’s passing will be deeply felt by his AMOE colleagues and friends worldwide but more especially by his wife and family and those that worked alongside him in the offices at Hattersheim, near Frankfurt, Germany.
