Before moving to North Jersey four years ago, Mr. Mueller had lived in Yardley. He grew up in Yeadon and graduated from Monsignor Bonner High School in 1978. Always good with numbers, he went on to earn a degree in accounting from Villanova University in 1982, graduating second in his class. Mr.

Mueller jumped right into his field, going to work for the Philadelphia firm Deliotte, Haskins Sells. He spent four years there before joining J.P. Morgan in New York as a vice president. In 1995, he became director of Nomura Securities International in New York. Mr.

Mueller was a lifelong fan of Philadelphia professional sports, with a particularly warm spot in his heart for the Flyers. He was an active member of Liberty Corner Presbyterian Church in Basking Ridge. He is survived by his wife of nine years, Merideth, and his mother, Kreszentia. His father, Carl died in 1973.

Frank A. Scaricaciottoli Retired inspector, 79 Frank A. "Scotti" Scaricaciottoli, 79, a retired gauge inspector for the old Frankford Arsenal, died Friday of pneumonia at Methodist Hospital. Mr. Scaricaciottoli, a lifelong resident of South Philadelphia, suffered a heart attack on Super Bowl Sunday.

An athlete as a youngster growing up around 22d and Tasker Streets, Mr. Scaricaciottoli remained active in sports as a player and coach his entire life. He was a running back for the old Frankford Yellowjackets, and he was a high-average bowler and a low-handicap golfer. His first love, though, was baseball. He was a second baseman, good enough to draw interest from the old Philadelphia A's.

Later, he played softball for a company team he played his last game at age 67. In 1964, he started a Saturday morning Cub Scouts bowling league at Oregon Lanes that over the years grew from eight boys to 150 children. The league expanded to include all youths ages 6 to 19. Not long after he graduated from South Philadelphia High School, Mr. Scaricaciottoli entered the military.

He served in the Army Air Corps as a gunner with the 642d Bomb Squadron during World War II. After the war, he went to work for the arsenal, retiring in 1974 because the facility was closing. He then worked for First Pennsylvania Bank as a courier for 15 years, retiring from that job at age 69. Mr. Scaricaciottoli is survived by his wife of 50 years, Theresa; sons Frank Richard and Randal; nine grandchildren; and three greatgrandchildren.
