He loved to drive around the neighborhood in his pickup, along with a dog or two, just to see what was going on.  Our father did everything his own way and we still respect him.

We love you, we love you now, we love you more tomorrow, and we will love you forever.  You are now in Heaven with mom.  We love you.

He is the husband of the late Onnalee (Milroy) Mulcahy, who passed away Dec. 26, 2007.
