My sympathy and condolences to Mr. Mulcahy's entire family. I never had the pleasure of meeting him, but I did have the honor of working for, and meeting, his wife, Anne, whose presence, personality, and leadership I remember gratefully. Mr. Mulcahy must have been a wonderful man to have been able to share his life with that lady, and she with him. I am very sorry for your loss.

70 years of friendship, a million laughs, great stories and wonderful memories. A terrible loss and I will miss him. His pride and love for Anne and his children and continuing loyalty to friends, colleagues and charitable causes is the reflection of a man who will be sorely missed.
