James Donald “Don” Mulcahy, 87, passed away on July 8, 2020. He was born on November 10, 1932 to the late James E Mulcahy and Mabel Mulcahy, and preceded in death by his beloved wife of 67 years, Martha Purzner Mulcahy.
Don spent 40 plus years working for Missouri Pacific Railroad and later Union Pacific Railroad. He had many incredible friendships, stories, and memories from his career. In retirement he developed a passion for golf, playing year round several times a week.
Don was the patriarch and much beloved leader of a wonderful family. His family and his relationship with each of them will remain his lasting legacy. He had five children Teri (Paul) Hillyard, Donna (Gary) Seymour, Craig (Sandy) Mulcahy, Linda (Don) Wichern, and Vicki (John) Howe, in addition to 14 grandchildren and 15 great grandchildren.
A wonderful and engaging person, he had many lifelong friends and was appreciated for his ability to connect personally with people through his stories, humor, and laughter. He will be deeply missed by all who were lucky enough to know him.
