He also enjoyed sailing catamarans and was the author of two books, "Short Bike Rides in Connecticut" and "Short Bike Rides on Cape Cod, Nantucket & the Vineyard."
Mr. Mullen is survived by his former wife and life-long friend, Marguerite Fouésil Mullen of Rockport, Massachusetts; their four children, Alan Mullen of Kassel, Germany, Michel Mullen of Helotes, Texas, Laurent Mullen of Branford, Connecticut, and Cybèle Mullen Grier of Gloucester, Massachusetts; four grandchildren; his sister, Alice Mullen Eriksen of Tarpon Springs, Florida; and several nieces and nephews.
