Family members and city officials continue to mourn the loss of Stephan Mueller, who died of hornet stings on Sept. 17.
Family, as well as city officials, remain stunned by the sudden death of Stephan Mueller, 47, a Glen Cove Department of Public Works employee. “It’s very sad, the whole thing,” said Mueller’s mother, Romana. “We’re trying to manage.
