Daniel P. Mullen, 75, of West Brighton, a retired 
						Port Authority engineer/systems analyst, died July 10 in 
						Richmond University Medical Center, West Brighton. 
						
						
						Born in Port Richmond, he graduated from St. Peter’s 
						Boys High School. He moved to New Brighton in the early 
						1960s and relocated to Manhattan in the early 1970s. He 
						returned to the Island 10 years later, settling in West 
						Brighton. 
						Mr. Mullen earned his bachelor’s degree in industrial 
						engineering and master’s degree in business 
						administration from New York University. 
						
						
						He served in the U.S. Marine Corps from 1953 to 1956, 
						achieving the rank of sergeant. Disabled during his 
						service, he was grateful for assistance from the 
						American Legion and supported that organization. 
						He worked as a senior engineer/systems analyst for the 
						Port Authority for more than 10 years, until retiring in 
						the late 1990s.  
						
						
						Mr. Mullen subscribed to the 
						Metropolitan Opera and was a frequent museum visitor and 
						supporter. Favorites were the Metropolitan Museum of 
						Art, American Museum of Natural History and Solomon R. 
						Guggenheim Museum. 
						
						
						He loved joking with his nieces and nephews and was 
						known for his impromptu, dry Irish wit.  Mr. Mullen 
						was a parishioner of Sacred Heart R.C. Church, West 
						Brighton.  Surviving are his brothers, Brian P. and 
						Edward J. 
						
						
						The funeral service will be Saturday at 1 p.m. in the 
						Harmon Home for Funerals, West Brighton. Arrangements 
						include cremation.
