Keith Mulcrone of Van Hornesville, NY passed away peacefully at Mohawk Valley Health Center on December 13, 2010, with his wife at his side. Keith was born in Oldham, England in 1938 to Marjorie and John Mulcrone. He was educated at Manchester Grammar School, Manchester, England and later joined the Royal Marines, 920 Commando Squadron, and earned the rank of 2nd Lieutenant. After active service, he was in the Reserves. His move to the United States came through his success as a mail order marketer for Fingerhut Corporation headquartered in Minnetonka, Minnesota. In the years that ensued, Keith was hired to turn around or build business for the American Management Association in NYC, Readicut Wool Company in Horbury, England and direct marketing agencies in NYC and Boston. In 1988 Keith launched Edlund Mulcrone Inc., a strategic marketing firm, with Campbell Edlund in Boston, MA. He proudly became a US citizen in November 1983. Keith was predeceased by his parents, Marjorie and John Mulcrone of Oldham, England and his sister, Jean Sinke, and brother-in-law, Marinus Sinke, of Javea, Spain. Keith leaves behind his wife, Carol, of Van Hornesville, NY; a son and daughterin-law, Matthew and Amy Mulcrone, and grandchildren Sam and Molly of Ashburton, England; a daughter and son-in-law, Sarah Jane and Nicholas Wood of Boston, Massachusetts; several nieces and nephews, and their children.
