Mr. Mulligan was my wrestling Coach & Psychology teacher at Bay High School 1960-62. When I was planning to attend our class 55th reunion in Oct 2017 one of my lady class mates who walked with George most mornings contacted me via email & ask if I was on the wrestling team, I said "yes & why?" She said Mr. Mulligan was asking for me, I shared a photo of the wrestling team from the school newspaper & ask her to invite Mr. Mulligan to our class reunion which she did. The reunion was only one night but I spent most of it talking to George & found out we had both been Navy pilot, George entering the Navy 10 years before me, strangely I never recall him talking about been a Naval Aviator. Anyway we spoke most of the night & met the next morning for coffee & more talk; I had so hoped to visit with him more in future visits. I have the greatest respect for Mr. Mulligan & hope I can consider him a FRIEND. R.I.P.

I met George during my time with the Panama City Runners Club in 1981. He was a talented athlete in every way. He had a love for life and for his family, who he was very proud of. I will miss George and his friendly welcoming smile that he gave me every time I saw him.

My condolences to the Mulligan family. Coach Mulligan was a fantastic wrestling coach and an infinitely better man. He taught me so much and his patience and kindness meant a great deal to me.

I knew the day would come when you would go see your wife and my mother Barbara Laird Welch Mulligan. I just did not expect you to leave so soon. Will always love you and for helping out anyone who would ask.

Mulligan Family - We are sorry for your loss. Tim, Terri and Tanis Thomas.

Dad, I will always remember you and Mom forever in my loving heart. You and Mom were the best parents ever and you showed us how to properly raise a family with love. I know Shaun loved you deeply. And I cannot express how much Ann and Kay adored you as a compassionate father. You're grandchildren also we're very fond of you and you're carrying friendship towards then. Dad you will live forever in our hearts and memory.

I knew George many years ago as a triathlete. He was cheerful and kind man. He will be happy to reunite with his wife.

Rest in Peace dear friend. Take a Mulligan if need be.

George was always an outstanding individual. I knew him from running and as a member of the Panhandle Runner's Club. He was a mentor and enthusiastic as a coach. George was a joy to be around. We will miss you!
