Patrick J. Mulligan passed away January 13, 2014, at Albany Medical Center after a long struggle with cancer.

Patrick was born May 9, 1952, in Albany, N.Y., to the late Thomas E. ( Ed) Mulligan Jr. and Antoinette (Jean) D’Amelio Mulligan. He was the brother of the late Pamela Zampiello. He is survived by his brothers Ed, Paul, Peter ( Patricia) and Scott and several nieces and nephews.
