Raymond Mulholland was born on March 28, 1926 in Hammond, Indiana to Joseph and Marie Mulholland. He was a lifelong resident of Hammond and was a graduate of Hammond Technical High School, Class of 1944. He was a WWII U.S. Army Veteran, having served in the Asiatic-Pacific Theatre. He was a member of the American Legion, Hammond Victory Post 168 and was awarded “Legionnaire of the Year, 2019”. Ray gave many hours placing flags on veteran’s graves for Memorial Day for many years. He was a retiree of the Lever Bros. Company, Hammond, with a service of 44 years. An avid sports fan, Ray cheered for the Bears, IU Basketball and the White Sox, catching his first fly ball at Comiskey Park at the age of 85. As a father of a young family, Ray took the kids camping in almost every state and as adults, family cruises became the norm. Ray always had a positive outlook, always with a joke to tell. Devoted to his family, Ray will be sadly missed by all who knew and loved him. In lieu of flowers, memorials to the St. John School Steeple Restoration Fund, would be appreciated
