Mr. Mullen,
Sir, I would just like to say thank you for your years of dedicated service and sacrifice for the citizens of Quincy when you served with the QFD. And to your family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.

Matt was a wonderful, kind, caring man. I knew him from my days working at the credit union. He was such a great man- always willing to help people-even strangers. He will be missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family.

Dearest Cousins, It is hard to put into words the sadness at the loss of your father and my dear uncle. Uncle Matt was like a second father to the Sullivans and the closeness of our families is something truly unique that we have all cherished over the years. He will always be remembered as the kindest person with the winning smile. And of course, his voice resounding throughout the walls of the house when the Red Sox were on TV is what I'm hearing in my head as I write this. Hold onto each other and gather strength from your extended family and friends who support and love you. Our sympathy and love to you and your families. Barbara, Ed, Tricia, and Kathleen

Uncle Matt: No sweeter a man, no warmer a smile, no better a twinkle of an eye, no better a Uncle next door, no better a Godfather. You are so loved and will be forever in my heart.
Love, Maryrose
