James McNulty

I never knew you, but you delivered me on 8/21/1962 so thank you. You basically gave me life as my mother, Virginia Holmes had a pretty rough pregnancy. I grew up a fan of your wife. Reat Easy

Dr McNulty delivered me at St Vincent's hospital, Los Angeles.

I am mistaken about James and Ann going on their Honeymoon in January 1954. My beloved Mom was probably on some heavy duty medications at the time.

My Mother told me that when I was born on January 8th 1954, Dr.McNulty delivered me at St. Vincent's Hospital.
She also said that he and his wife Ann Blyth had just gotten married and now, after my birth, they could go on their Honeymoon. Thank you Dr. McNulty for bringing me into the world.

Dr. McNulty delivered me on Dec 14 1949 ,followed annually by my 4 sisters.
My mother Jane was one of his nurses. I remember she always had nice things to say about him.
I knew his niece Kathy O´Connell but lost touch many years ago.

February 2025.
Well, I was one of the thousands of babies delivered by Dr. McNulty,
born in March of 1955 at St. Vincent Hospital. My mom had nothing but good words for him. That is why I remember his name. From what I've read on this site he must have been a remarkable human with a heart full of soul. Sorry for your family's loss.

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.

And Dr. McNulty delivered me as well on Oct. 9. 1947 at the Naval Hospital in Long Beach. My mother had always told me my Doctor was married to Ann Blythe. I was breech so I am sure my Mom was glad to be in good hands. Thank you, Dr. McNulty Jeannie Carter Speakman

I was watching Mildred Pierce and it made me want to google Ann Blyth and then her husband. I came upon this and was reading all the beautiful remembrances of him. They are very heartwarming to read. He sounds like such a truly special man. His wife, children and grandchildren were so very lucky to have had this beautiful man in their lives.

he looks just like his brother, Dennis Day.

to ann blyth my mom miriam janowitz she work with your husband at ceders sini she spoke very good about him he trusted my mothet with his patients iam sorry to here about his passong here my e mail adreass janowitzalan yahoo.com

I was delivered by Dr. McNulty at the US Naval Hospital in Long Beach, CA. It´s always a conversation starter when I tell people that I was brought into the world by Ann Blyth´s husband.

I was delivered by Dr. McNulty at St. Vincent's Hospital in Los Angles on November 19, 1951. I still remember my mother's newspaper clippings of his wedding to Ann Blythe. My future husband and his father painted the McNulty home in North Hollywood years before we met. Dr. McNulty also delivered my husband's first wife...small world. One of my favorite movies is The Helen Morgan Story with Ann and Paul Newman.

I have not been fortunate enough to meet Dr. Mc Nulty but today, by those chances he gives us the Internet, looking for the biography of Ann Blyth I came to this website and I was excited to read the testimonies of those who if they knew Dr.- Through these messages I discovered what could be called a full life, of someone who when leaving this world leaves behind if the affection and gratitude of so many people.- What more was left can you ask life? Dr. Mc Nulty served his homeland with honors in the worst war scenarios, was perfected in his professional task, received distinctions of all kinds, formed a beautiful family and is remembered with love for his own and strangers.- My greatest condolences to his family for the loss but also convey the enormous comfort of having had in their lives someone like Dr. Mc Nulty.- From Argentina with all affection Mario Montecchia.-

In 1970 I was a new expecting mother. Dr. Mc Nulty was my doctor and I loved going for my checkups and feeling his love and genuine concern for me through my first three pregnancies. He introduced me to the La Maze method and it was wonderful. I moved away in 1978 and he was compassionate when I contacted him to say I was getting divorced and had a terminally ill baby at Children's Hospital in Los Angeles. I had come down with a severe kidney infection the day she went into the hospital and he was the only local doctor I knew to call and I didn't want to leave the hospital for fear she might die while I was gone. Without hesitation, remembering who I was, he approved a prescription for me and I was able to stay with my daughter. I'll always appreciate him and the love he had for his patients and I suspect for everyone he knew.

my name is JEFFREY LAUBER,MD... DR Mc Nulty was my mothers ( TOBEY LAUBER ) OB/GYN and delivered me ( 9-27-58) and my brothers and sisters---

I owe him another debt besides bringing me into the world-- DR Mc NULTY wrote a letter of recommendation for me during my application for medical school..

HE must have had some extreme influence with the admissions committe because I gradutated from USC MEDICAL SCHOOL in 1985, and now i am a Dermatologist in private practice in Newport Beach, CA..


DR Mc Nulty--- thank you and please say Hello to my mother Tobey in heaven..


JEFFREY LAUBER,MD

He was the most wonderful doctor that I have ever known. He delivered my seven children and my third son is named after him, in memory. Carolee Brown Prior

What an amazing man Dr. McNulty must have been! I read his short biography after Googling Ann Blyth. Here was a fantastic person who, obviously, gave back so much of his talent and skills to those he served. It is persons like Dr. McNulty who should be cloned.

Today is my 50th birthday. My father called to tell me that this wonderful doctor was the one who delivered me 50 years ago today. Thinking of all the hearts he touched....

Missing my dad today who passed away in May, 2013 on the month of his 80th birthday and 60th anniversary to my mother. I remember how much he loved the movies and great actors of his day. While looking up Ann Blyth, one of the greats, I found this obituary and guest book. I, too, understand the profound feeling of gratitude for being given such a great dad and the feeling of intense longing to be with him again. May God grant you peace to endure the time before you become reunited.

Dr. McNulty was my ob/gyn '67-'69. He was won of few docs who would let father in delivery room in those days. I brought him my fresh baked cinnamon/raisin bread, which he loved. He told me how he loved lamb (Australian) and would buy enough to fill his freezer. He was also very funny.

Dr. McNulty was my wife's doctor in 1958. He was in partnership with Dr. John Bach in Encino, CA. On occasion he would fill-in for Dr. Bach. He also served as an alternate doctor during my wife's second pregnancy in 1959. My wife thought he was a very competent physician and a very caring man. Both of our first children (of 7) were delivered at St. Joseph's in Burbank. If only there were millions of people like him there would be peace in this tortured world. God Bless his memory.

Love you Dad. Terence

I was delivered at St. Vincent's in 1955. My siblings were all delivered by Dr. McNulty around that time.

I was delivered by Dr. McNulty at St. Vincent's Hospital in January of 1960. I was just reminiscing about his wife and this caused me to look him up on the internet. What an distinguished career and life he lived! I was sorry to hear of his passing -- may he rest in peace!

Hi Daddy. Just wanted to wish you a happy belated Father's Day. I miss you and love you.

I was delivered by Dr McNulty @ St. Vincent's in 1950 and in the next 2 years so we're my two sisters. Every time I see Ann Blythe on TCM movie and my birthday, I am reminded of the fond memories my Mom had (she passed away in 2011). I was sorry to read about Dr.McNally's death. Thanks to his family for having such a lovely dad who took care of my Mom for her first 3 births and for bringing us into the world.

I always had a special fondness for Dr McNulty for delivering my son in 1970 via Lamaze with my husband in the delivery room. I continued to see him for several years even after moving to Westlake Village, no easy drive.

MY mother Miriam Janowitz work very close to DR Mcnulty i met him a few times he was a very nice person he call my mom jan or mickey he trusted my mother very with his patients my mom died back in 2004 from kidney cancer i miss her a lot my e mail ad is [email protected] if any one wants to drop me a line

Dad,today is your birthday and I wish I could give you a hug and a kiss. We miss you every day and remember your smiling face and infectious laughter!We love you always and forever you are in our thoughts.xo

Dr. McNulty delivered me over 57 years ago. My mother worked at St. Vincent's Hospital back then. I remeber growing up, the stories she told of when I was born and that Dr. McNulty sang in the delivery room. My mother always had wonderful things to say about him. My mother died 12/11 so I think she is hearing him sing again.

I was thinking about you today and decided to google you. I worked for you for five years when I moved to California. Wow that was along time ago.Eileen if you are reading this, what a great time we had when you worked in the office, especially when the pt's did not want to be called by there first name. I really had alot of love and respect for your Dad. Sorry I learned so late. Dawn Purdell Racine Sorokey.

I don't know why Dr. McNulty came to my mind today. I am so sad to learn that he has left us but happy that he is now with God. He was my doctor for all of my three children, the youngest born in 1974. The last time I met him was at Ann's concert in Cerritos. Dr. McNulty was a great doctor, kind, cheerful and understanding. My deepest sympathy to Ann and the children.

Dr. McNulty was my OBGYN and I remember him best when he delivered my daughter Bianca Marie at St. Joseph's in Burbank. She was born on March 15 and when he came to see me on the 17th he had on a green sports coat and a very Irish tie. He had quite a good sense of humor and I still think of him fondly. Wonderful Doctor.

I am so blessed with the memories I have of my beloved Dad and the special thoughts of those who knew him.I thank you all for remembering such an incredible, generous man. I miss him every day,his laugh and sense of humor and most of all his love for all of you. Love Kathleen xoxo

Today is my Birthday, Dr. McNulty delivered me many years ago. He also was the doctor who delivered my children. Thank you, Dr. McNulty.

I was thinking of Dr. McNulty this week as he nurtured me through my pregnancy 37 years ago. This week that 37 year old son is expecting his first child to be delivered. I have very fond memories of Dr. McNulty. He was a great doctor and a nice man.

Dr. McNulty, you delivered me almost 50 years ago. Thank you. Cynthia Cook

Happy Birthday Daddy. I miss you dearly each and every day. Sending you lots of love, Eileen Alana

Dear Dr. McNulty,
While we never met I want you to know that your dear father, Patrick born in Ireland in 1862 was the older brother to our grandmother, Bridget born in 1871. Our family was very blessed to have such wonderful parents and grandparents. I hope one day that our children and grandchildren will share wonderful stories of the McNulty kin from Ballina, County Mayo. May you rest in peace. God bless you.

Hi Daddy, think of you every day and miss your smiling face and great sense of humor. Hug you every day..xoxo Love always your Katalina.

Hi Dad, I just wanted to say how much you are missed. Love,your son, Terence

Dear Dr. McNulty, You are such a very special person in my life! You delivered our two beautiful babies, Nicole in 1973 and Keegan in 1978! I knew how much you loved children by the way you always spoke of your own wonderful children and, of course, your dear wonderful wife! I was thinking of you recently and decided to see what I might find on the internet about you. I was very sad to read that you are no longer with us, but are in another beautiful place. I can see the smiles on the angel's faces when they see that wonderful smile of yours and that wonderful little twinkle in your eyes! Rest in Peace, Dear Dr. McNulty. Respectfully, Cynthia R. Harvat

Rest in peace grandpa you are missed

I was so sad to hear of the passing of Dr. McNulty. I’m 59 years old and he delivered me & my son. My mother & I loved and respected him so much! During one of my visits, his beautiful wife was in his office & he introduced her to my mother and I. She was so charming (which we'll never forget). When I was in labor in the hospital, I remember hearing his voice and laugh coming down the corridor and from that instant, I knew everything was going to be okay. We love you Dr. McNulty.

Rest in Peace, Doctor McNulty

DR WAS A WONDERFUL MAN HUSBAND N FATHER

Coincidentally, I was a good friend of his niece Kathy O'Connell. I haven't seen her in many years, but lately I've felt a need to reconnect. If you could pass on my email address, I would be most appreciative: [email protected].
Thank you for your help.

My name is Vince Poxon. My mother Jane Carroll was Dr. McNulty's nurse. And Dr. McNulty delivered me into the world at St. Vincent's Hospital in Los Angeles. He also delivered most of my sisters. My mother always had wonderful things to say about him. Coincidentally

Dear McNulty Family,
I just learned of Dr. McNulty's death while doing a Google search for him. I was suddenly curious about him. Dr McNulty delivered my brother in 1952, my sister in 1955 and me in 1959 at St. Vincent's Hospital. I am very happy to say that he also delivered both of my children at Valley Presbyterian Hospital in 1984 and 1988. When I went into labor with my son, he wasn't on call that day but he rearranged his schedule to be there for me. That meant so much to me. What a kind and wonderful man he was. May he rest in peace and may your family find comfort in all your wonderful memories of him.

Hi Daddy, I've been thinking about you alot lately and wanted you to know although you are gone you are still in my heart every day. I miss you...Love your Katalina.xo Sleep in peace.

I am so sorry for your loss Kathleen... Take care...

Dear Mrs McNulty and Family,
I have never met either of you, but loved your singing from when I was in junior (convent) school and consequently was always interested in news of you. I recall reading about your wedding when I was at school and what a lovely bride you were... the fact of the Irish connection I suppose also impressed me ... and I thought what a kind looking man you had married! My father had died when I was 10 years old and I thought Dr. McNulty resembled him. I am now a widow myself! It is so nice to read of people enjoying such a good family life .... such a change these days!!
May the good Dr. McNulty rest in God's peace. Wish you all every blessing. Kathleen.

A year has passed and you are always in my thoughts and prayers every day.I love you with all my heart and miss you and your smile.Love, your Katalina xoxoxoxo

Dear grandpa,
i miss you and all the fun we used to have when we were together. i always loved your sense of humor. i miss you and you will always be remembered.
love, Ryan

Grandpa,I will always remember the laughs we all had at the beach house. Where ever we were we would also have fun. To me you always had the best sense of humor. I remember you every day and will never forget the fun we had. I love and miss you grandpa Jim. xoxoxoxo

Time has gone by both quickly and slowly since he's been gone. I miss everyday, but know he's smiling down on all of us. He lived such a full and great life. What a great Dad and grandfather...we are so lucky to have had him as long as we did. I love you Daddy and miss you dearly.

It will soon be a year since Daddy passed away. We miss him greatly. We could always count on him for counsel and comfort. He would often follow up with lighter fare-- a joke or other funny story. He lived each day for others. We are forever grateful for his love, hugs, and kisses. He was the best father, the best dancer, the best cook, the best athlete, and the best advocate. Thank you to all who have remembered him through this guest book. There are thousands of others who were impacted by his life. Love, Maureen
XOXOXOXOX

Happy 90th Birthday Daddy.How lucky we were to have had you for 89 of those precious years. We miss you and love you with all of our hearts. xoxoxoxoxoxo Kathleen,Bruce, Ryan & Kevin

Happy Valentine's Day Daddy,you are always in my thoughts and prayers.I miss you and love you so much.Kathleen xo

Daddy,it's the holidays and I am missing you but I am remembering what great times we had decorating the house,the tree and having some great parties. I think of you every day and want you to know how much I love you.. you are always in my thoughts... All my Love your Katalina...xoxo

This is a Yiddish expression employing a word originating in Hebrew (these are two different languages).

The words are often pronounced "Ah Guteh Neshomeh." The first words mean " A good" and the last word is the Yiddishized version of the Hebrew word Neshamah meaning "soul" and has varient pronunciations in Yiddish ("Neshumeh," "Neshomeh," etc). The meaning of the phrase is literally "A good soul" but implies much more than that, ie somone willing to give you the shirt off his back, or to go to the Nth degree to help you in any situation.

Daddy,not a day goes by that my memories of you remind me what life is about.I miss you so much and thank you for showing me how to love,laugh,and live..always in my heart,Love you,Kathleen.xoxo

Dear Ann & Family,
I first met Jim, about 13 years ago, when he came to our door, welcoming us as a new neighbor in Del Rayo Downs. As I opened the door
I saw a man with a big smile on his face. He introduced himself as Jim McNulty, my next door neighbor.
He handed me a welcoming gift - a bag with a bottle of wine & a loaf of bread. He explained it was an old Irish custom to welcome new people into the community.The bread was symbolic "to never go hungry" & the wine represented a wish for a sweet life.
Over the next 13 years we got to know Jim & Ann as wonderful neighbors & friends.
My first impression of a wonderful, caring person only grew stronger over the years.
The best way to describe that feling is through two Jewish sayings.
Jim was a "mensch" & a"gutenashuma." (spelling??)
These two terms have no real equivalents in the English language.
A mensch is a combination of several traits:
1. A Gentle-man (kind & caring).
2. One who always does the right thing.
3. A man of integrity.
A gutena-shuma (spelling?)
1. Is a good soul.
2. A good spirit - always positive
3. an Angel - one who takes care of others.
I am sure his patients wou;d attest to this description of Jim.
In Celebration of Jim's Life, Barbara & I would like to thank him for being a good neighbor, a friend & more impotatly, a true mensch & a Guttena-shuma to all who knew him

your dad was the best and an amazing man who helped us all they dont come any better then dr mcnulty he wil always be in my heart

Dear McNulty family,

I was saddened to see that Dr. McNulty had passed when I picked up a copy of the Tolucan Times yesterday.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.
May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

Lynda Lorimer McClam & Family


May the road rise to meet you. May the wind be always at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face. May the rains fall soft upon your fields and until we meet again, May the Lord hold you in the palm of His hand.

Oh! and Nan Lynch of course.

Our sincere condolences to the surviving family of a truly distinguished physician. Doctor delivered our first three children, back in the early 1950s, when we lived just a few blocks from his home in Toluca Lake. My dear wife Jo thought highly of his skill and manner and sought his opinon on health issues even after we had moved down to Imperial Valley. RIP gentle soul.

My mother, Marilyn Osterloh, was a patient of Dr. McNulty for many, many years and she always spoke so highly of him and said she had never met such a kind and gentle doctor. His passing is a great loss to everyone. We will keep your family in our thoughts and prayers. God bless and keep you all.

I don't know what posessed me to "Google" Dr. McNulty's name today...May 22. When I found there was an obituary for him, just 9 days old, I was greatly saddened. Forty one years ago, the good doctor delivered my first son, Daniel, at Valley Presbyterian Hospital. Exactly forty years ago yesterday, he delivered my second son, Paul. I will bring a copy of the Times obituary to my son's 40th birthday celebration on Monday. I remember Doctor McNulty's wonderful manner in the office, and I loved hearing of his many children's adventures. I remember one of his children may have ingested a drain cleaner that she found under the kitchen sink, but she turned out OK, I guess! Having five children is a time-consuming job. My oldest son has five children, and I know what effort it takes to get through each day. My condolences to Dr. McNulty's lovely family and friends. He will undeniably be missed.

Thank you all dear friends that have remembered my beloved Daddy.He was an amazing Doctor,Husband,Father,Father-in-Law,Grandfather and Human Being. We have an Angel now helping us to be kind,patient and love all. Remember the selfless and dedicated hard work my Dad did to make families happy and complete.
I miss him so much.I love you Daddy. Kathleen.xo

Dear Ann,
Jim was such a bright, charming and caring person.You and Jim were a role model couple. We are so happy we had the pleasure of knowing Him.
Please do not hesitate to call us, if we can be of help to you.Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this sad time.
Fondly,

Every birthday, my mother recounts to me this story.
She had seen Dr. McNulty the day prior to my birth. He told her to come in the next day and if she wasn't ready, they'd induce her. "You're having a boy" he said.....she disagreed, "No Doctor, I'm having a girl. Tomorrow is the Feast of the Presentation, and I promised God that I'd name her Maryann. She did indeed give birth the next day. A few days later, Dr. McNulty popped in and said "So Mrs. Parker, I see you had your girl...did you name her Presentation Parker?"
I can't have a joyful birthday without this story being told to me. God Bless you Dr. McNulty

Ann Dear,your Uncle Patrick Tobin was a wise and noble man. I pray to have the honor of meeting both Jim and Pat in Heaven.

My sincerest condolences to the family and freinds of Dr McNulty. I was born November 19th 1947 at the Long Beach Naval hospital. Dr. McNulty deliverd me by cesarian and whenever my mother talked about my birth she would always say what a wonderful man he was. My prayers are with you.
