Arthur McNULTY Obituary
McNULTY, Arthur Gerard
'Gerry'
Age 85, of Sacramento, California passed away Tuesday, April 19, 2011 after a short, courageous fight against a lung infection.
Born in County Armagh, Ireland, October 13, 1925, to the late Arthur and Alice McNulty. He served in the British Royal Navy for two years. He met his wife of 61 years, Noreen at a dance in England. They immigrated to the United States and made their final home in Sacramento. A bricklayer by trade, his work was admired by many. He loved going home annually to Ireland to visit his siblings. A golf and soccer enthusiast; he also enjoyed greeting friends with a pint of Guinness at a local pub. He had a beautiful singing voice and was known to break out and sing an Irish ballad or two at many gatherings. A very charismatic man with a grand sense of humor, he loved to have a great laugh and could tell a wonderful story.
Survived by his beloved wife, Noreen, and adored by his five children Brian (Sharon) McNulty, Maureen (Richard) Yamadera, Sheila (Ray) Navarette, Gerard (Toni) McNulty, and Patricia (Danny) McNulty-Langdon, 10 grandchildren, two great-grandchildren, one brother, Oliver McNulty from Glandore, Ireland, as well as many nieces, nephews and friends.
A Memorial service will be held on April 28, 2011, at noon at Sacred Heart Church at 1040 39th Street, Sacramento. A luncheon in his honor will be followed immediately at the Turn Verein Hall at 3349 J Street, Sacramento.

Thanks to Gerry. I will always remember the gentle Irish song he brought to the BonnLair (beautiful stuff)... and his quiet laugh among his friends. I am glad to have known him. I wish him and his family and friends peace in this transition.

We cannot explain how sad we are to know that Gerry has gone from us. We thought we might see him at least one more time in Ireland but it was not to be. He was great to come home when he was able. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. We will have a mass said here for Gerry and will let you know when so that you can be with us in spirit. God bless you all. Oliver, Gretta and family.

Dear Sheila, Tish and family, we're so sorry for the loss of your dad. Our prayers are with you all. And, as the Irish say:
May you see God's light on the path ahead
When the road you walk is dark.
May you always hear,
Even in your hour of sorrow,
The gentle singing of the lark.
When times are hard may hardness
Never turn your heart to stone,
May you always remember
When the shadows fall-
You do not walk alone
Love, Tom & Geri O'Neil
