Obituary of Gerard Edmund McNulty

January 8, 1936 - November 11, 2018 It’s with immense sadness that I announce the peaceful passing of Gerry McNulty on Remembrance Day 2018 in Saint John, at the age of 82 years. Gerry was born in Saint John 1936, the only child of Edmund and Josephine McNulty, on what is now Highland Road (then Pokiok Road), Saint John, NB. After studies in Brockville and Windsor, ON, he spent a few years studying in Cortona, Italy. He got to Quebec City in 1962 and made his career at Laval University as a professor of anthropology/linguistics. He raised his two sons in their home in Lac-Beauport. In 2003 he met me, Rebekah, in Sweden and I came to be his wife. I subsequently moved to Canada and we lived in Quebec but eventually relocated to Saint John back in 2008. Gerry had a big warm heart for which he’ll always be remembered, not to mention his great sense of humour and sharp mind. He embraced life’s challenges with courage and grace and his concern for others knew no bounds. He is survived by his two sons, Denis and Kevin McNulty in Quebec City and Rebekah, his wife. Since there will be no visitation or funeral mass … if friends so desire, donations may be made to the Romero House Soup Kitchen, (647 Brunswick Drive, Saint John, NB E2L 3S9 506-642-7447). I wish to extend my heartfelt thanks to the loving and caring staff at SJRH Palliative Care Unit (3BN). Arrangements are under the care and direction of Brenan’s Funeral Home, 111 Paradise Row, Saint John, NB (506-634-7424).
