LESTER MCNULTY Obituary

McNULTY, Lester R. Died suddenly in his Franklin home August 1st, 2019 at the age of 68. Originally of West Roxbury, he was the beloved husband of Melissa J. (Polner), and father of Matthew, Adam, Douglas, and Patrick. He was the proud grandfather to four and was predeceased by his parents, Lucille (Carey) and Leo, as well as his sister, Lucy. Les proudly served his country both in the US and abroad in the Air Force, INS, and the FBI. As a special agent in Florida, New York, Providence, and Boston, he was known for his dogged persistence as he led numerous cases to successful prosecution, most notably as a gang buster in New York. Admired as a scholar with a crazy streak, he made lifelong friendships while defending our country. A private Service will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, please make donations to Horace Mann Educational Associates of Hopedale, MA.

Lester and I were classmates and teammates in school. We just celebrated our 50th reunion. The Jesuits teach students to be Men For Others and to try to live lives for the Greater Glory of God. As a father, husband, patriot and friend Lester hit every mark. He will be missed.

There has never been, nor will there ever be, anyone quite like Les. He was truly one-of-a-kind. A great man, a stellar FBI Agent, a steadfast friend, and a quick wit. We miss you, Les, and will keep you forever in our thoughts and prayers.
