Arthur E. Mulligan, Jr.

It is with great sadness we share Arthur E. Mulligan Jr, age 84, passed away on Tuesday, February 10th, 2026 at Milford Regional Medical Center surrounded by family. Arthur was the loving husband of Faith (Connolly) Mulligan for 62 years. He was known as "Art", "Chuck" and "Pop-pop" by family and friends. He was born in Framingham, Massachusetts, March 1941, a son of the late Arthur E. Mulligan Sr. and Margaret (Lynch) Mulligan. Arthur was a resident of Framingham and Westborough, before eventually settling in Grafton for 42 years. A proud veteran of the United States Air Force, he served his country with part of his service during the Vietnam Conflict. Following his service, he was an active-duty member of the National Guard for several years. Prior to his retirement, Arthur worked in many different careers, including as a Production Control Manager, a Supervisor for Department of Youth Services and as a proud Police Officer of the Westborough Police Department for over 15 years. While working multiple jobs and supporting a young family, Arthur found time to obtain an Accounting degree.

In his personal time, Arthur pursued many passions including building model kits, collecting baseball cards and carpentry. After purchasing his first home, Arthur built his own workshop, a dream he had since childhood. Arthur used his nights and weekends to fully renovate this first home in Westborough, completely gutting an entire floor and rebuilding the bathrooms, kitchen and living areas on his own. He was the family’s handy man; always willing to stop by his children’s homes and help with whatever needed to be fixed or updated. His passion for this work continued throughout his life. Arthur enjoyed attending Air Shows, bringing his family to these events, and sharing his experiences and knowledge from the Air Force. Arthur was also a committed family man, providing for their needs and taking them on enjoyable vacations and road trips every year.

In addition to his beloved wife Faith, Arthur is survived by a son, Kevin Mulligan and his wife Sophia Mulligan of Clinton and their two daughters Katie and Ava; a daughter, Tracey (Mulligan) Walker and her husband Geoffrey, of Medford and their two sons Avery and Drew; a sister, Karen (Mulligan) Varney and her husband Robert of Upton and their two daughters and grandchildren. Besides his parents, Arthur was predeceased by his sister Kathleen Mulligan of Falmouth. Kathleen is survived by one daughter and grandchildren, and predeceased by a second daughter. He also leaves behind several friends and others who knew and loved him. He will be missed by all.

Arthur will receive Military Honors and brief service at Massachusetts Veterans Memorial Cemetery in Winchendon on March 5th, 2026, at 1 PM where he will be interred. The family will gather privately to celebrate Arthur’s life.
