He is survived by the love of his life, his wife of 52 ½ years, Agnes Sue Peel Mulcahy.

He is also survived by a special friend, Nick Sevastakis, and a special cousin, Roy Mulcahy. He was preceded in death by a son, Seth Mulcahy. He leaves to his memory many friends along life’s journey, too numerous to mention. He enjoyed the very special and close relationship he shared with his grandchildren, Jordan and Dani.
