                         HONORING JERRY McNULTY

                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. H. MORGAN GRIFFITH

                              of virginia

                    in the house of representatives

                         Friday, June 11, 2021

  Mr. GRIFFITH. Madam Speaker, I rise in honor of James Gerard McNulty 
Jr., who passed away on May 23, 2021. Jerry was committed to improving 
western Virginia through volunteer and charitable work.
  Jerry was born on October 12, 1938 in Binghamton, New York to Elise 
and James McNulty. After graduating from Michigan Tech University, he 
moved to western Virginia with his wife Colleen. He worked at General 
Electric in Salem, where he led the Drives Systems division.
  I first came to know Jerry through his involvement with the Roanoke 
Valley Aquatic Association. Other causes and organizations to which he 
devoted his time and support included the Smith Mountain Lake Lions 
Club, Lake Christian Ministries, and the Smith Mountain Lake Homes 
Tour. A 2016 story in the local Laker Weekly profiled Jerry and 
Colleen's generous support of their neighbors through Lake Christian 
Ministries' food pantry, helping to feed those in need in the area.
  Jerry's survivors include his wife of 60 years, Colleen; his 
children, Kate McNulty and spouse, Jeff Johnson, Lori McNulty and 
husband, Ernie Sigala, Terry McNulty, and Michael McNulty and wife, 
Mandy; his grandchildren, Justin Johnson, Ciaran McNulty, Logan Pope, 
Sable McNulty, Caitlin McNulty, Sophia McNulty, and Indy McNulty; and 
his siblings Mary Gillette, Kay McNulty, John McNulty and wife, 
Larraine, Gene McNulty and spouse, Kathy, and Terry Blood. I offer them 
my condolences on their loss.
