Wiscasset, Maine – Richard Walter Kubler, 53, died Saturday morning, July 25, 2020, at his residence.
He was born in Hackensack, New Jersey on April 15, 1967, to Walter “Ken” and Barbara (Klasmeier) Kubler.
Rich was a licensed electrician for the family business and a volunteer firefighter for Hasbrouck Heights, New Jersey, before becoming a career firefighter for Hackensack in 1998. He, along with his fellow brother firefighters, volunteered at Ground Zero.
Rich loved being a firefighter, but his passion was boating. He grew up on and around boats and finally purchased his dream boat, “Fear Knot”, this summer. The name is in reference to bracelets he and his wife wore, to remind them to live in the present and fear not the future.
He is survived by his wife, Susan, daughter, Lauren, stepdaughter, Alessandra, his parents, his brother, Robert and his wife Kate, and several nieces and nephews. He was “Grandpa Rich” to Jaxson and Cameron. His first dog, Ranger, was his constant companion and by his side to his last breath.
