OWEGO, NY (607NewsNow) — Services are set for a former Owego firefighter.

Richard Mundt’s family will hold a funeral Thursday, Oct. 22 at the Estey, Munroe & Fahey Funeral Home in Owego. The service starts at 11 a.m. Burial will follow at the Tioga Cemetery in Owego.

Mundt, who was 84, was a lifetime member of the Owego Fire Department. On Facebook, he was remembered both for his work and his warmth.

“Dick has been a member of the Owego Fire Department for 60 years serving as firefighter, ambulance driver, and Emergency Service Support (ESS), among other duties. He will certainly be missed not just at the station, but all around town. He always had a smile and an infectious laugh.”

Mundt, who lived most of his life in Owego, died Thursday, Oct. 15.
