Judy and family. I was deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Art Mullaney, a truly wonderful man and longtime friend. You have my deepest sympathy. I have known Art since I was roughly 6 years old (I'm almost 70 now)all through the Rocky Nook connection. I grew up in Melrose so we were neighbors. My father,Eddie Lally, was one of Art's closest friends and biggest fans. I can clearly remember many car rides from Melrose/Malden to Rocky Nook w/ my dad and Art. What a joy those rides were. Art (or Zukie as he was always fondly known down there)was the"Mayor of Rocky Nook" and knew literally everyone there over many generations. When he and Judy moved to "Zukie's Cove" it was the fulfillment of his lifelong dream. I also had the pleasure of knowing Art's Dad and know that he got many of his great qualities from him. Judy, I haven't seen you in years but remember the 2 of you so well and how much you enjoyed each other. What memories !! Please know that Art will forever be in my thoughts and in my prayers. I am sorry that I will not be able to make the services.
Sincerely,
Ted (Teddy) Lally
