Muncie - Richard "Dick" Stahl, 74, of Muncie, passed away Tuesday, June 15, 2021 at IU Ball Memorial Hospital. Dick was born on August 29, 1946 in Muncie.
Richard Stahl was born to Harold Jack Stahl and Martha Sue (Turner) Stahl. Richard attended Muncie Schools. Dick lived a colorful and energetic life. He was a longtime truck driver and local #135 Teamster member.
