Elmer A. McNulty Jr.

McNulty, Elmer A. Jr.

77, passed away peacefully on November 20, 2021 after a long battle with Parkinson's Disease. He was the dear father of Amanda McNulty, Emily (Brett) Duggin and Daniel (Emily) McNulty. Most importantly, he was the beloved grandfather of Matthew, Ava, Lizzie, Hunter, Emerson, Kempton, and Lennon.

Elmer was born June 28, 1944 to Elmer and Grace McNulty and was the younger brother to his sister Suzanne. He attended St. Ann's grade school and graduated from CBC in 1962. He worked in the corporate offices at Laclede Gas for over 30 years. He was a longtime resident of the Kirkwood Community, where he raised his family and served as alderman of Oakland for over a decade.

He graduated from the University of Missouri St Louis with a degree in economics. He was part of the University's very first graduating class of 1967. He had a strong passion for volunteerism that included: Big Brothers and Big Sisters, Oasis grade school tutoring, Manor Grove, Adventure (Indian) Guides, and spent many hours at Elliot Chapel and the preschool. He was also a proud member of the Sierra Club for over thirty years.

He had a great love for the outdoors included biking, hiking, camping, canoeing, and backpacking that he lovingly passed on to his son. He also enjoyed swimming and spent many hours at the Kirkwood YMCA pool. He had a great love for animals and found great companions in his many dogs over the years.

Elmer was a generous and caring person who loved his family and friends immensely. It was always his wish to help further research of Parkinson's Disease. His donation to the Mayo Clinic brain bank in Jacksonville, FL is something he felt was important to find new treatments that provide a better quality of life for Parkinson's patients in the future. Even after his death, he continued to think of others and saw the importance of finding new treatments for this terrible disease.

His family would like to give a special thank you to Dolan Memory Care and all the Lyon house staff as well as his friends, Jim and Terry, who were like family to him and cared for him over the years.
