Hopkins Class of 1964
David G. Mueller
February 4, 1945 - January 3, 2025
In loving memory of David (Dave) George Mueller who peacefully passed away on Friday, January 3, 2025 at the age of 79 after a long battle of health issues. Dave was born in Glencoe, Minnesota and spent his teen years in Glen Lake/Hopkins where he met his bride of 59 years, Lynn Mueller (nee Peterson). After graduating from Hopkins High School in 1964, Dave joined the United States Navy where he honorably served for 4 years, developed his excellent cooking skills, and was awarded a National Defense Service Medal. After the Navy, Dave learned and honed his meat cutting skills. Upon retiring from meat cutting, Dave worked with the City of Minnetonka until his retirement in 2004. Throughout the years Dave was an active member of Minnetonka Lutheran Church k/n/a Bethlehem Lutheran Minnetonka Campus where he chaperoned youth activities, served on the property board, and regularly attended service and community activities. Dave loved the outdoors, hunting, fishing and even more loved his family. Everyone who encountered Dave was left with a warm memory. Dave is survived by his wife Lynn, daughters Shari Lowden (Michael), Marti Mueller Snyder, grandchildren Georginia Peterson (Alex), Josephine Lowden Kahana (Evi), Nicholas Lowden, Cullen Snyder, Tate Snyder and niece Catherine Dixon (David). Dave will join loved ones in heaven that preceded him including: his parents George Henry Mueller and Alma Emma Amelia Mueller (Baden), his sister Joanie Anderson, and many faithful hunting dogs. Dave was a kind, thoughtful, compassionate, hardworking and loving man that will leave a great void in our physical world. He was able to pass on his love of the outdoors to his girls, and helped teach his grandchildren to fish, hunt, and love.
Visitation will be held on Monday, January 20, 2025, from 5-7pm at Washburn-McReavy 1400 Main Street, Hopkins, MN 55343.

Joseph Michael Anderla
July 23, 1946 - January 6, 2025
Joseph Michael Anderla, age 78, of Anoka, Minnesota, passed away on January 6th, 2025. Born and raised in Hopkins, Minnesota, Joe was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, and friend who lived a life full of love, service, and joy.
Joe is survived by his loving wife of 58 years, Dianne Anderla, and their three sons: Joseph (Amy), Paul (Julie), and Michael (Karla). He was a cherished grandfather to Breanna, Madelyn, William, Josh, Grace, Hanna, and Sam. He also leaves behind his siblings, Joan & Tom, as well as a host of extended family and friends. He was preceded in death by his parents, Joseph & Helen and his two siblings, Rudy & Janet.
Joe proudly served in the U.S. Army for four years before embarking on a 40-year career with Northwestern Bell/CenturyLink. In 1970, he and Dianne settled in Anoka, where they raised their family. Throughout his life, Joe was dedicated to his community, serving as an elected member of the Anoka Park Board for over 46 years. His passion for hockey led him to coach Anoka Hockey and serve on the Anoka Arena Board for many years.
An avid motorcyclist, camper, and fisherman, Joe loved spending time with his brother, children, and grandchildren, sharing in these activities that brought him so much happiness. For 35 years, Joe brought laughter, joy, and love to families and children as he played Santa Claus during the holiday season-a role that he cherished deeply. He always carried a candy cane in his pocket, ready for a photo with anyone who asked.
Above all, Joe was a family man. He made sure to be present for every holiday gathering, birthday celebration, and family reunion, always putting his loved ones first. His legacy is one of generosity, kindness, and an unwavering commitment to making others feel valued and loved. Joe truly gave more than he took and left everyone better for having known him.
A memorial service will be held in his honor on Tuesday, January 21st at 11:00 A.M. at St. Stephen's Catholic Church in Anoka, MN. Viewing will be held at the church from 10-11 A.M. and the family invites you to join them for lunch immediately following the service. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to the American Diabetes Association.
Joe's love, warmth, and joyful spirit will be deeply missed, but his memory will live on in the hearts of all who knew him.

Mr. Denzel J Martindale

OCTOBER 31, 1946 – DECEMBER 3, 2021 

D. J. Martindale (Denzel Joseph) passed away the morning of December 3, 2021, at home in Salina Kansas in the company of his beloved cat, Jaymie. He was born in Martinez, California, on October 31, 1946, the eldest son of Arrell Dean Martindale, Sr. and Betty Fern Martindale (Wilkerson) and raised on military bases in Japan, Germany, Colorado, Minnesota, and California. He obtained a bachelor’s degree in biology from Kansas State University, and moved in 1969 to Martinez, California. DJ worked at John Muir Hospital in Walnut Creek, California until 1996, enjoying the healthy California lifestyle, running 28 miles a week, hiking and camping with friends, and riding his bike. DJ never married but became a “big brother” and surrogate Dad to Michael and Alan Betts whom he considered “his boys.” DJ was a member of the Martinez Church of Christ.

After a series of brain illnesses and recoveries, he moved to Salina, Kansas where his sister, Chris Martindale, assisted him in procuring a home and living independently. Although his walking was impaired, DJ proceeded to swim an aggregate of 500 miles at the Salina YMCA. He attended the Church of Christ in Salina, teaching young children’s Sunday school. As his illnesses progressed in recent years, he was assisted by his niece, Rebecca Blaha, and the staff at Accessible Health Care, enabling him to continue to live independently at Arbor Court Independent Living in Salina. DJ is preceded in death by his parents, his sister Chris Martindale, his nephew Justin Rogers, niece Stephanie Martindale, and his brother-in-law Alancy Price. He is survived by Michael and Alan Betts, siblings Arrell Dean Martindale Jr. and wife Pamela, W. Patrick Martindale and wife Jean, Nicki Lynn Price, Roy Martindale and wife Sandra, and numerous nieces and nephews.

A memorial service will be held at the Salina Church of Christ at 1:30 pm on January 15, 2022
