Born March 19, 1943 in St. John’s, NL, he was a son of the late Gordon and Helen (Conway) McNulty. John was a long-time adherent of the Cathedral Of The Immaculate Conception. He was known to be a die-hard Boston Red Sox fan. Throughout the years, he drove taxi for many local companies, and he also tended bar for several establishments, both of which allowed him to make lasting friendships in the Greater Saint John area.
