Mike helped me out on more than 1 occasion, always making me feel like I had his undivided attention as well as being such an honest businessman. The world lost a good man.

Just found out that Mike passed away through his daughter Katie on a sales call...I been doing business with Mike since I moved here in 2000 from
Baltimore MD. I will really miss him! He was a character I will not forget in my lifetime. My deepest sympathies go out to his Wife, Daughter and family. Stay strong, close and keep the faith in God! God bless you all!

I was so saddened to learn of Mike's passing. What a great guy he was! Humble, compassionate, caring, funny and a great story teller! Many times I would call the plumbing shop, Mike would answer and after an hour or so of talking horses, we would eventually get around to scheduling my plumbing job. Such a font of knowledge about so many topics, and an encyclopedic memory for horse races and thoroughbred breeding. A great loss for all who were fortunate to know him.....

We just learned of Michael's passing and send our love and condolences to all the family. Mike shared with us an essay that he wrote about his service in Vietnam; we were so impressed with his writing and so moved that he shared it with us. He knew Frank was a vet, too and would understand his experiences.
To Paul, our friend for so many years- we send our love. We are so sad that we were unaware of your brother's death and the date for the wake...we would have liked to have seen you and support you with our friendship.
Mike was a kind, humble man, with deep emotion. We enjoyed his company and didn't share it enough.
God bless you and keep you all, and God rest his sensitive soul.

Dear Janet and family, I was so very sorry to hear about Mike's passing. I remember all the years I babysat for the kids... Janet would still be getting ready to go out on one of their "date nights" and Mike would be waiting for her in the living room and pass the time by sharing some hysterical story about the family from that week. He was a great guy. My thoughts and prayers are with you and the entire family. All my love, Rita

Mike helped me many years ago when I needed a furnace part. The shop was closed but he was still in his car in the lot. He unlocked the shop and let me look around the old inventory for the part I needed. I found it on the floor and he said I could have it at no charge. It worked perfectly. After that I stopped by the shop to hear some of Mike's stories and just talk to him. He was a very special person and I will miss him a lot!

So sad to hear about Mike. He led a great life surrounded by a great family. My parents were friends with Mike’s parents, Bud and Irene. Mike and my brother Peter were longtime friends and schoolmates, and Martha and I graduated SHS in 1967. I have fond memories of many visits to their grocery store on Clinton St., back when a neighborhood grocery store meant something. My thoughts are with Janet and the entire Mulholland family.

Seems like only yesterday Mike and I were discussing and singing along with Dr John's "Such a Night" and "Right place wrong time". Love of music is what Mike and I had in common. The news of Mikes passing hit very hard with Susan and I. As a past employee of Mike and Janet's and early on a Salesman calling on the Mulholland's, I was one of those lucky enough to be within earshot of his stories, Jokes and classic whimsy. There was never a dull day on 99 Walworth Street. I was never good at saying goodbyes but in my best Cockney accent one last time "Love ya mate"

Mike, we first met in October of 1968, in the 557th Combat Tracker base at Camp Eagle. I knew you were someone special right away by the way you always had a good word to say to everyone, it was like meeting a stranger and walking away as a life long friend. I love you Brother and I'll miss your voice on the phone. Mac McDonald

I grew up down the street from the Mulhollands and they were the nicest people imaginable. Always greeted you with big smiles on their faces. Always happy to see you. Need help, Mike was there. Although it's been a few years since I've seen him, I have always had fond thoughts of the whole family. I also knew Janet when we were kids. Funny how life works out when two people you knew as a child find each other as partners in life. Sending prayers of sympathy and love to Janet and the whole Mulholland family.

I am very sorry to learn of Mike’s death. He was most helpful to me when I worked on various projects in Saratoga. He also shared a wonderful manuscript of a memoir he wrote about his time in Vietnam. Even after I left the city six years ago, we kept in touch with occasional phone calls and emails. I offer my sincere condolences to his wife and children for their loss.

I'm so sorry to hear of Mike's passing. I was referred to Mike years ago when I needed some plumbing, and soon discovered what an interesting and joyful person he was. Classic French movies, literature, dogs, hydrology -- I don't know many people who are drawn to drop by their plumber just to have a chat, but I was and did. He was always welcoming. He'll be missed.

Like losing a father, Mike was a truly caring role model for many.
I will never forget the story’s of the war, his understated accomplishments that saved lives and his love of everything saratoga.
And never was there a time where he would not sit and talk, give me time and share his to discuss history, current events, problems and options for solutions.
My friend, I will miss you and will never forget the lessons you taught me as well as others.
Our condolences Janet and family. So truly sad.

Mike will always have my respect and my condolences are to the family and his close loved ones. God bless and RIP mike
