Just read of Jack's passing in the FOP newsletter. I was deeply saddened. All I can say is that he was one great guy and will be sorely missed.

So sorry for your loss, Jean and family. You will feel Jack's arms around you. He was very proud of his family and I know how much you will miss him but he has just been transferred to another district (and this one is heavenly.} God has a special place for policemen. God bless you all. There is a lot of comfort in talking about the happy memories with your children.

To the Family of John "Jack" Mulkerin:
May your family find peace with the sad departure of a great man from this earth.
My Mother, Delia "Sally" Mulkerrin (Nee Joyce) was born in Alanabroon, Kilkerrin, Carna County Galway Ireland and my grand father was Mark Mulkerrin. She talked a great deal about John and what a Fine man he was.
God bless him and your family

I've heard it said that when others would complain about having bad days at work, Jack would say "I've never had a bad day". Or when he sang, "just direct your feet to the sunny side of the street"....Jack, you will always be an inspiration to me. Your cheery dispositition, generousity, and love for family and friends will always be an encouragment to my family and I. You will be missed!!!

I enjoyed Jack's energy and vitality every time I saw him. He was a "big fella" in every best sense of the term. I'm sad he's gone.
