We regret to announce the passing of our Dad, Gerald ‘Squirrel’ MacMullin, 68, who died unexpectedly in his home in Sydney Mines, on Friday, April 15, 2016.
Born in Sydney Mines (Bogrow) on Sept. 5, 1947, he was the son of the late Daniel and Evelyn (Gardiner) MacMullin.
He worked at the fish plant, Leonard’s/National Sea, for many years. Later, he drove trucks for United Van Lines in Sudbury, Ont., with his brothers, Alex and Danny. He also worked for Selminco, at the Mini Wash Plant on Pitt Street, Sydney Mines. After that, he purchased Sexton’s Dairy in North Sydney, which he ran for a few years before his retirement.
In 1977 he married Rodgerena Finney and had two children, Korrine and Gerald Jr. He was a proud father and “Poppy” of three beautiful grandchildren, whom he loved dearly.
Dad (Gerald) is survived by his daughter, Korrine (grandson Connar, granddaughter Kayleigh) and his son, Gerald Jr. (granddaughter Mya). Also left to mourn are his siblings, Delores, Theresa, Rachael, Mae, James, Andrew, Kaye, Ann Marie, Brian, Wayne 'Popeye' and Lorraine, and many nieces and nephews.
Besides his parents, he was predeceased by his brothers Alex, Danny, George and Kenny (Archie).
There was nothing our Dad wouldn’t do for his family, and we will always miss him.
His family will receive visitors on Friday, April 22, 2016, at 10 a.m. in J. M. Jobes Funeral Home, 635 Main St., Sydney Mines. A celebration of his life will take place at 11 a.m., in the funeral home, with Deacon Greg Murphy officiating. A reception will be held at the Sydney Mines Pensioners Club, following the service.
