Richard Mihok Obituary
Richard F. Mihok, 82, of Marlborough, CT passed away on September 9, 2022. He was born in Norwich, CT, on March, 10, 1940, the son of the late Andrew and Mary (Kolvek) Mihok.
Richard is survived by his loving wife of 57 years, Sonia (Arbelo) Mihok; children Doug Mihok and Cathy Mihok and her spouse Karen Beard; grandchildren Katie, Chloe, Anna, and Justin; and brother Roland Mihok.
Richard was a proud University of Connecticut alum and owned his own business as a civil engineer and land surveyor for over 40 years. As a youth, Richard was a competitive athlete and was proud of playing shortstop on his little league team. He was an avid Yankee baseball fan and loved to watch the greats play back in the day - Mickey Mantle, Joe DiMaggio, and Stan Musial. He was also an avid college basketball fan (culminating with March Madness). Richard always had a passion for nature, and he could spend hours walking through the forests, relaxing on the beaches of Cape Cod, or boating on Long Island sound. He had a soft spot in his heart for animals.
