William Mullen Obituary
William L. Mullen died peacefully on the evening of Saturday, November 7, 2009, at the Jupiter Medical Center.
"Bill" was born August 7, 1915. He was raised in the southwest and educated at the University of Wichita. During World War II, he was production manager of Woodward Company who manufactured precision airplane parts for fighter planes.
After the war, Bill founded and was president of Industrial Fuel Corporation. Upon retirement he began a cattle breeding venture at "Sherwood", a farm near Charlottesville.
After a second retirement, he and "Win" elected to spend their senior years at Lost Tree Village in North Palm Beach, Florida. There he became interested in community activities at the Lost Tree Club and served a term as president.
Bill loved golf and played at every opportunity. Sailing was another activity he truly enjoyed, first racing then cruising with his wife "Win" on their boat "The Wilwin".
He is survived by his wife, Winifred Teare Mullen; and daughters, Christine, Amy and Wendy. He will be sorely missed as a great contributor to the betterment of life for those around him and his beloved country. He was a man of great intelligence, integrity, and wit, much loved by all.
Arrangements entrusted to Aycock Funeral Home, 1112 Military Trail, Jupiter, Florida.

Jim and I were very sad to hear about Bill. We both have very fond memories of Sherwood Farm when you and Bill were the owners. Our children (Chris now 28 and Erin 24)still speak of their exciting experiences at Sherwood hiking and exploring when they were growing up.
May joyful memories and experiences bring you comfort during this difficult time.
Fondly
Jim, Marcy, Chris, & Erin Straker
