MULLEN, Albert Christopher
It is with unspeakable grief that we announce the passing this December 16, 2005, of our father, grandfather, brother, friend and moral guide, Albert Christopher Lawrence Mullen of Whitby, Ontario and Dublin, Ireland. Albert was born January 4, 1936 in Dublin at 15 Usher's Island on the city's south side, the second son of Albert Leopold Mullen and Bridget Mullen (n e O'Brien). Educated by the Christian Brothers at St. Columba's School, Albert distinguished himself amongst his peers, excelling most prominently in Mathematics. In 1956, he married the love of his life, Kathleen Lawless, and the two immigrated to England within hours of marriage, intending to build a new life together in Canada. The couple lived for a time in Toronto's Annex neighbourhood before settling in Whitby to raise their four daughters. Albert was a hard-working man blessed with an inexhaustible patience and a formidable strength of character that carried him through each of his days. A gentle giant of a man who thought of himself only after he looked to his loved ones, Albert was an inspiration to all who were so fortunate to know him. He was predeceased by his brother Joseph Richard Mullen and survived by his loving wife Kathleen; his brothers Martin and Michael; his sister Bridget; his daughters Theresa, Catherine and her husband Fausto, Maureen and her husband Michael, Jacqueline and her husband Darren; and his grandchildren Albert, Zaira, Natasha, Madeleine, Kathleen, Stefanie, Bridget and Brendan. No matter how many years pass, not one of us will forget the mighty force of his laughter. The family will receive friends at W.C.
