John you had a God given joy of life, you lived life fully, and taught me to see experience and appreciate what God has given us. Old teaching buddy from 1964. You will always live in my heart. Rest in Peace.

There will be an exhibit of John's work and a celebration of his life to be held at Wellfleet Preservation Hall in October, If you'd like to get in touch please email boardwhisperer@rcn.com. Cathy and I and a few friends are putting this together and would love to talk about it, if you'd like.

I am so sorry to hear about John's passing.  I have so many wonderful memories of our nature walks in and around Wellfleet to Squire Pond, White Cedar Swamp, Duck Creek, et al.  His art will stand the test of time.  I suspect his works will become even more well known now. I treasure my collection and memories of John's eccentric ways. Catherine, you were one loyal sister and I know you miss him dearly. I hope to see you when I come to Cape Cod this summer. My deepest condolences. May John rest in Peace.

We John Mulcahy are collectors should get together to host an exhibit of John's works.

Mr. Mulcahy was my 7-9th grade art and homeroom teacher at Bicknell Jr. High School in Weymouth.  Great guy and better teacher.  He did a chalk portrait of me in 1965.  I have it mounted in my office. It has and will always be treasured.

Hi - I am sorry to hear of John's passing.   Going back 15-25 years ago when my children were growing up we were in Wellfleet every summer.  A visit to see John was always on our list of things to do.  I love John's works of different favorite spots on the Cape and in MA.  I have 6 or more of his paintings adorning my home, including a huge painting entitled 'Winter Beach'.  My children always enjoyed visiting with John each summer and he always took time to talk with them about art and the Cape.

Catherine,
In our home we are surrounded by a number of John's beautiful paintings.  We treasure them. They evoke in us the beauty of the Cape and the many happy visits we made to the gallery in search of just one more gem. John was an original. His work brings joy.  He lives on in our hearts.  

Our deep condolences, 
Myron and Nancy Sosnow

Dear Catherine, 
   You are in my thoughts and prayers today. What a great sister and friend you were to John, helping to keep him organized, running the gallery, and caring for him in his long illness. 
   John was a one-of-a-kind. He had a way of looking at the world that made me believe the way I looked at the world was all wrong.  
   John gave us all such joy in the way he saw things and then expressed them in his art. He didn't hold back when he had an opinion, either. 
   John wrote on the back of his self-portrait called "Young John," that he wanted a little blue sign to be placed on his building that said, "Cape Cod Artist John Mulcahy lived and painted in this house from 1966 to 2012. 'I tried to capture with paints and brush God's ever inspiring Glory.'" 
   I loved him, Catherine. He was amazing, funny, and kind, especially to my son Thor. He gave me such joy and happiness. I will never forget how he would walk into my house with a package of cod fish and present it like a bouquet of flowers, and then poach it for me. He'd say "Does it get any better than this?"   
   John shared his love of life with the world.  How many of us can say that?
   Please let me know when the Memorial Service will be.

With love,
Martha.

Dear Catherine,

We are so sorry and sad to hear about John's passing. We know he has gone to a better place and we have so many memories of him in our houses. We are thinking of you during this difficult time and wil be in touch.

Love, Anne, John, Stephen, David and all their families (Fletcher)
    ( Washington DC and Wellfleet, MA)

John, you were one of the kindest people I have ever had the pleasure of knowing.  From the first time we met when you came into my gallery and we talked about the shapes of the mugs (and why they should have handles big enough for someone like you) to the last time you gave me potatoes from your garden, you were the essence of generosity.  Rest well.

Dear John - Your art and your friendship gave me great joy & happiness. Thank you. love, Nancy

Dearest John - signed so many of his beautiful works - "Art gave my life great joy and happiness". And John, you gave and shared with so many, across the country and the world, great joy & great happiness. Your generosity, your vision, taught many of us to 'look', to appreciate and to treasure the beauty around us. I will miss you dear John, thank you for everything. My life is so much richer for having known you, my dear friend.
