Edward F. Muhlenfeld ’65

Ed passed peacefully with his wife, Linda, and three daughters at his bedside Aug. 29, 2021. 

A proud graduate of Princeton, where he majored in politics and took his meals at Tower, he also earned a master’s degree at Georgetown in international relations and was a decorated captain in the Army serving in the Vietnam War, where he earned a Bronze Star. 

His interest in finance and investments led to his lifelong career, finishing at Wilde Wealth, where he worked until his death, having been recognized as one of the top stockbrokers in the U.S. 

His passion for music provided a recent hobby, as he used the bass guitar and jammed to popular country music songs, to the delight of his five wire-haired fox terriers bred by his wife, including one national grand champion, four champions, and their puppies. He also involved himself in charitable and public-service activities through Rotary and the Scottsdale Bible Church of Arizona. 

A devoted husband to Linda, he was father of Allison, David, Vanessa, Stephanie, and Jamie, and grandfather of nine. He will be missed and celebrated by his family, friends, and community. The class sends its condolences on the death of this fine family man and thanks them all for his service.
