in memory of Robert P. Mulligan, please visit our floral store. I felt, when I looked back on it, that I really didn't know what life was about until I was somewhere in my teens, when you become aware that sooner or later you're going to have to walk out the front door. Bob spent most of his adult life residing in Bergen County. Share your condolences, kind words and remembrances below. Obituary Robert P. "Mr. Bob" Mulligan, age 97 of Wyckoff, formerly of Saddle River, went to be with the Lord on Sunday, May 30, 2021, at his home. She is survived by : her daughter Elissa Mulligan (John Claudio) of South Portland; her granddaughters, Rebecca Mae Hooker of South Portland and Jessica Claudio of South Portland; and her great grandchild Adelaide R. M. Hooker of South Portland. In a 1991 article in the Dallas Morning Herald looking back over his film career, Mulligan reflected that many of his films deal with the emotional highs and lows experienced by children and adolescents when confronting traumatic circumstances. Critically, Man in the Moon fared better, and was notable for the appearance of Reese Witherspoon in her film debut, but its then unfashionable concern with young love, small-town life and troubled emotions failed to attract an audience. Bob's thoughtfulness, integrity, wisdom, caring and generous spirit will remain with us always. Joan left college work in 2010 and filled her days with writing, studying, swimming, time with family and friends and special time with her husband, Robert, daughter, Elissa and granddaughter, Rebecca Mae Hooker.
