Jack Muhlhahn passed away on Friday July 11, 2025. He was 85 years old. Jack was currently a resident at Fellowship Manor in Whitehall, Pennsylvania. However, he had previously resided in Piscataway, New Jersey for more than 40 years.  Jack was a graduate of Don Bosco Technical Institute in Teaneck, New Jersey. His career was spent working as an electrical engineer at Union Carbide for many decades before they were taken over by DOW chemical.
