Sean P. Mulligan, 59, of Wayne, died Friday, June 9, 2017.
Sean was a proud member of Local One IUEC of New York and New Jersey for nearly thirty years. Most recently, he had been building skyscrapers in New York City with ThyssenKrupp AG of Germany. He was an incredibly hard-working man.
Born in Manhattan, Sean moved to Packanack Lake with his family from New York’s Upper East Side as a young boy. He graduated from DePaul High School in 1976 as the second-ranked wrestler in the state of New Jersey, for which he received a complete scholarship to the University of Tampa. After attending college, Sean served our country in the US Navy aboard the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower. He was a diver, and specialized in both underwater and terrestrial disaster recovery and rescue.
Upon return from the Navy, Sean capitalized on his advanced military training and joined Local One, where he quickly climbed the ladder. Sean was known as a tremendously talented, resourceful worker, and was often known to work well into the night to get the job done.
Through mutual friends, Sean met his beloved wife, Lisa in the summer of 1987. They married soon after and moved to Packanack Lake to start a family.
Sean had a tremendous sense of adventure and loved to travel. When his sons, Sean and Ryan, were young, he would take the boys into New York City every single Saturday without fail. Whether is was the Guggenheim or Coney Island, rain or shine, a Saturday with Dad was never an idle one. Sean would take his family to the Jersey Shore multiple times each summer, and upon occasion, to tropical islands, where he would show off his tremendous swimming skills he picked up in the Navy. Sean had a phenomenal sense of humor, which his family will miss most. He was known to make light of even the most unfortunate situation, always able to make his family laugh and smile.
Sean is survived by his wife Lisa of Wayne, his two sons; Sean Patrick and Ryan, both of Wayne, his mother; Deborah Mulligan of Montague, NJ, one sister; Julie Barone of Oak Ridge, NJ, and three brothers; Michael Mulligan and his wife Theresa of W. Milford, NJ, Timothy Mulligan and his wife Nessa of Wayne, and Patrick Mulligan and his wife Patty of Wayne, as well as a large, extended family of aunts, uncles, and cousins.
In lieu of flowers, memorial donations in Sean’s honor would be appreciated to the American Diabetes Association, 2451 Crystal Drive, Suite 900, Arlington, VA 22202, or visit diabetes.org.
