Francis McNulty Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Even though Frank came from a small coal mining town, everything about Frank was big: big heart, big drive, big personality. He was a self-made man from the very start, who not only put himself through high school, but two degrees in college as well. Basketball was a big part of who he was, as the center on a state championship team.
Frank had a few things in life that were especially important to him: family, faith, freedom, funny jokes, Ford, and friends.
He is survived by his wife, Barbara, daughters Erin (Jose) Diaz, Colleen (Ken) Robertson, Kerri (Chris) Bagosy and his grandchildren.
His philosophy was that it's never the wrong time to do the right thing. We will miss you, our gentle giant.
In lieu of flowers, a memorial contribution may be made to the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, Florida.
Visitation will be on Friday July 18, 2025 at 10 am at Our Lady of Light Catholic Church, Fort Myers, Florida with a mass of remembrance starting at 10:30am.

I just heard the sad news about Frank last night. As others have offered, Frank was a giant - in presence, leadership, personality, and heart. I had the pleasure to work for Frank at Ford not only once, but twice, and he always set the pace in our organization. In a particularly successful time for the Company, Frank´s passion and insight commanded excellence, forthrightness, and achievement; we worked as hard and accomplished as much as Frank´s sense of humor and practical jokes could dish out (and that was near limitless, so that says something!).
I never had more fun in my career as the time I worked with Frank, who, at the time, wasn´t finished climbing the corporate ladder because of his skill and the respect he garnered.
He had a Frank-like nickname for my wife (as she recalled last night!), but he also made it his business to travel to our wedding, which says it all about Frank. His heart was big and he wasn´t afraid to discuss personal matters and share his life experience to make people feel valued. He never let up, but he never let people down. I try to learn from everyone and I learned much from Frank. There are precious few around like him, and we are lesser for it. I hope Frank´s family and friends will find comfort in the good memories he created (if not his humor or his many practical jokes!). I am proud to have had the honor of knowing and befriending Frank McNulty.

I worked for Frank at Ford Body and Chassis Engineering. He was a very creative genius type of a guy! All of us remember his joking ways but he was a great person to work for!

As a Theta Tau fraternity pledge class member with Frank in 1965, got to know Frank a lot between 1965-1967. Then no contact with him until 2022 at a Flash Reunion in Vegas. It was like we didn´t skip a beat.
Glad I had a chance to crack jokes with him a month or so ago, albeit with him in the hospital. He referred to Barb as his "angel". I kidded him that she must be a "saint", putting up with him for 58 years.
Heartfelt condolences to the family. He will be missed.
Just received a quick note from another fraternity brother who as a freshman, pledged in 1966. Frank was affectionately known as "Hoss" to that pledge class.
Peace,
