John "Jack" Bryant Mullins, Jr. passed away September 21, 2021 in the Phoenixville Hospital. Jack was born on July 10th, 1936 in Ridley Park, Delaware County, PA and grew up in Yeadon. He was a 1954 graduate of Yeadon High School, where he sang as a tenor in the choir, and participated in many musical productions. He also served as his church soloist.

Jack was an avid reader, and loved books, especially mysteries. On any afternoon he could be found with a book in hand at the local library, Valley Forge Park, or the local Barnes & Noble café. He also enjoyed music, musicals and movies, especially classic Hollywood as well as contemporary genres. He followed the Oscars with a passion, and committed to memory all the various winners of the top five categories.

**** From Contributor 47152212 "The 1930 federal census clearly lists James B. Mullins, age 31, married to Anna M., age 30. Anna May Davis was my aunt, and their son, "Jack" was my first cousin. Additionally, I have James Bryant Mullins' Draft Registration card, with his signature. That card lists his name as James Bryant Mullins, 512 W. Magnolia Ave., Aldan Del., PA. The card shows Ann Mullins as someone who will always know his address, and his signature is hand written by him as James Bryant Mullins."
