To the Muhs Family,

Father Muhs was an extraordinary man who made me into the person i am today. It is because of his prayers and his faith that i am here today. He had a great heart and the warmest smile and hug i've ever felt. He was an amazing man and i loved him very much. He is in my thoughts and prayers daily and will be severely missed.

We will always remember Father Muhs when he was a young Priest at St John's in Center Moriches. Everyone loved him, and he made us feel that he cared for our parish.
