David L. Mullen

MULLEN, DAVID L., age 67, passed away peacefully after a long battle with chronic pain on Monday, February 7th 2022, at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston, MA. He was born on November 16, 1954, in Norwood, MA, to Ruth and Lewis Mullen. After graduating Norwood High School in 1973, he became a successful business owner with partner, Charles Briggs until retirement. He is survived by his longtime girlfriend, Pauline Dacko and his three children, Katie Donovan and her husband Gregory, Jamie Mullen, and Chris Mullen and his wife Michelle. David was the proud grandfather of Madison, Sadie, Samantha, Addison, and Layla. He also leaves behind his 5 siblings, Robert, Susan, Pete, Paul, and the late Chris. David cherished all of his beloved nieces and nephews and had a close relationship with Brandon, Bradi, and Devon. The dedication to his work was admirable, and his devotion to each of his children's hockey activities was unrivaled - he never missed a single game. His proudest accomplishment was being a father to his three children. David was an avid Boston sports fan. He loved hockey, fishing, and taking trips to the Cape Cod Canal, where he will find his eternal resting place. He loved reading the Boston Herald, which was a daily ritual. Per David's wishes, a private family gathering was held to honor and celebrate his memory. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to Hockey Fights Cancer. https://www.nhl.com/community/hockey-fights-cancer
