MUHL, RICHARD F. Richard F. Muhl, age 71, of East Hampton, passed away on August 5, 2012. Richard was born in Mineola, New York on April 4, 1941 to the late Frederick and Anna (Dietz) Muhl.

He is also leaving his dog and faithful companion Nikki. An ex Navy submarine man, Richard never lost his love of the sea. He went boating and fishing whenever he could. If you went fishing with him he always made sure you reeled one in. He served his community by being a member of the Floral Park NY and Clinton CT fire departments.
