Dr. Muju was my Chemistry Professor while I attended the University of Manitoba 1997-2002. My fondest memories of Dr. Muju were of the conversations we had. Dr. Muju was a very kind and humble man and an inspiration in my life, without his persistence and guidance I would not have completed my degree. My deepest and sincere condolences go out to his family and friends, he will be sadly missed. - Posted by: Terry McKinnon (former student) on: Dec 02, 2012

I was saddened to hear of Professor Muju's passing. He was my teacher for 1986-7. I passed the news onto another classmate with whom I still keep in touch. He was good to our class and I still have fond memories of him. I always appreciated his kindness. I had tried a couple of times to send a card but unfortunately it always came back as no forwarding address. My apologies for my lateness. My deepest regards to you and your family. - Posted by: Lynn Malboeuf (former student) on: Oct 20, 2012
