Originally from Pittston, Pa., Mangan retired from John I. Haas Inc., the world's largest hops growers and dealers, after more than 45 years service. He had previously been employed as manager of the Hemphill, Noyes Investment Co. in Washington, D.C. He moved to Philadelphia in 1942.

A graduate of Georgetown University, he won numerous tennis tournaments and twice was ranked the No. 1 singles player in the Middle Atlantic Tennis Association. He served as president of MATA in 1934. For a period in the 1930s he coached tennis at his alma mater. In 1976, he was inducted into the Washington Tennis Hall of Fame.

In recognition of Mangan's contributions to tennis in the Philadelphia area, the MATA each year awards a silver trophy in his name to the individual who has made a significant contribution to tennis.

On four different occasions, Mangan served as a state delegate to Democratic national conventions.

An Army veteran of World War I, Mangan was an honorary life member of the Army-Navy Club of Washington, D.C., and was the last surviving founding member of the Society of the Friendly Sons of St. Patrick in Washington.

He also belonged to the Merion Cricket Club, the River Club in New York City, the University Club in Washington and the Knights of Malta.

Survivors include his wife, Elsie H. Mangan; two sons, Thomas J. III and John F.; two daughters, Barbara Pitocchelli and Josanna Kennard; 15 grandchildren and four great-grandchildren.
