Bill was born at home in Malden in 1929 to his parents, Kathryn (Chisholm) and Leo Mulcahy. He grew up in Malden and attended trade school while learning mechanics. He then spent his early years in the family trucking business, with his father and brothers, calling it the "Mulcahy’s Express".  Bill later married his first wife Mary Anthony, built a beautiful home and raised their family in West Boylston.

He worked many years at C&S Wholesale Grocers in Worcester, rising to Vice President in charge of warehousing. Bill pursued several business opportunities, including the sale and shipping of a giant Weyerhaeuser paper mill to a Pakistani group. He then joined his brother Ed in the truck fleet liquidation business before retiring. 

Bill’s interests focused around his family and his lifelong fascination with trucks and machinery. He was known by everyone as an excellent mechanic.  Bill loved to travel and was fortunate to see Ireland, Egypt, Pakistan, Central and South America, and especially Maritime, Canada, home to his mothers family.  Bill loved to spend his free time at the beach with his family creating life long memories.
