My heart and Prayers go out to the Mullarkey family. I have many memories of Mr Mullarkey and his beautiful family. I loved when we would load up in our station wagon and head over to the Mullarkey house to hang out for the day. Then there were those summer days when the families would spend time at the Irish Center. John was a very caring and loving man. I cherish the memories of John and my father laughing over a beer. I want to thank the Mullarkey family for bringing laughter and joy to my life. I love you all and wish I could be there to give you all a hug.
