To the Mulhall Family: One of the greatest thing to happen to me while I was working for the Attorney Generals Office in Albany and had a chance to work with Harry on many cases.

To the Mulhall Family: I had the pleasure of working with Harry at the Attorney General's Office for years. I sat right outside of his office and he was always amusing me with his stories and pranks. I ran into Harry a few weeks ago at St. Peter's Hospital. My sister was having a test and Harry walked in while I was in the waiting room. He looked my way and we immediately smiled and reminiced about the past. He took my phone number and two days later he called me and we talked for hours. i'm so greatful to have had that time with him. Harry was truely one of a kind and I will miss him deeply.

One of the greatest things to happen to me in the FBI was to be assigned to Harry as my training agent when I arrived in Albany as a FOA. We worked closely together and he taught me so many great qualities about being an agent. I will always remember him and my condolences to you Chris and the rest of your family.

The sharpest FBI Agent I ever worked with, and one helluva Marine. An unmatched sense of humor. He loved God,family,country and the Corps. Semper Fi. He will be missed.

March 11, 2016

To the Mulhall Family, I am very sorry for your loss, but it is easy to remember Harry for his story telling and pranks. He is truly a legend within the FBI. I first met him in 1960 in Washington Field Office. Then we were together again in New York. When I arrived in Albany, there was Harry all over again. We did a lot of good work together, and enjoyed pulling plenty of pranks to keep thing light in the office. He will be missed to be sure, but the joy he brought to every one around him with his wild stories and infectious laugh will always be remembered. Love, Ed & Bunnie Lahey

The Manhattan College alumni community shares the grief, and is now praying for our fellow alumni and the family at this time. The Alumni Office has been informed. As well as the Jasper Jottings community that I personally can reach. We are all a little poorer now. "No man is an island, entire of itself ... any mans death diminishes me". We are sorry for your loss.

Dear Mulhall family,
I'm so sorry to hear about the loss of your father. I had the pleasure of working with him at the AG's office. He always left you with a smile after listening to one of his many stories and/or jokes. He was quite the prankster and enjoyed making people laugh. He will truly be missed!
