Mr. Michael J. McMullin

March 18, 1947 - August 31, 2020

Mike J. McMullin, 73, passed away on August 31, 2020 after a recent battle with COPD, which had complicated his life for the past years. Mike was born on March 18, 1947 and was a Fairmount resident his entire life. He attended St. Francis Xavier Grade School and Dobbins Technical High School. He continued the McMullin patriotic tradition of military service by enlisting in the U.S. Army Reserves. He spent a good part of his working career as a Mechanical Draftsman for several Engineering firms. He then switched gears and found a rewarding occupation as a Security Specialist for Allied Insurance Co., monitoring cameras for the Philadelphia Art Museum. His interests included music, crossword puzzles, and faithfully watching Jeopardy. He made annual trips to Ohio at Christmas to celebrate with family. Mike was preceded in death by his parents; Joseph J. and Alice McMullin; his grandparents; Joseph and Eva Kevit; and his niece Mary Katherine Biglow. He is survived by his brother, Joseph R. McMullin (Mary Jane) of Cuyahoga Falls, OH; niece, Maureen Michalak of Grove City, OH; nephew, Joseph R. McMullin, Jr. (Ann Marie) of Hudson, OH; grandnieces and nephews; Molly Michalak, Michael and Allie Biglow, Sean, Kate and Joseph Patrick McMullin, and numerous cousins including Betty Ann Beschen, Lynn Norman and Joan Busher. Mike was blessed to have many wonderful friends through the years. Special friends include Jack and Marie Del Conte of Lansdale, PA, who welcomed him at their home most weekends and fed him like a king. Lisa Noble, a neighbor was there for him in good times and bad, taking care of all his needs. Elaine Hepp from Krupa's Bar provided advice and meals for him especially during football season, where Mike watched the Eagles games. The family will receive friends on Saturday, September 5 in St. Francis Xavier Church the Oratory, 24th & Green Sts., Phila., PA from 9 a.m. until time of Mass at 10 a.m. Cremation has already taken place and Mike's ashes will be buried alongside his niece in Chestnut Hill Cemetery, Cuyahoga Falls, OH.
