Please share a memory of Jack to include in a keepsake book for family and friends.
Jack Randall Mullins was born in Pikeville, Kentucky on May 17, 1940. He was one of twelve children born from the late James L. Mullins Sr. and the late Barbara (Huffman) Mullins.
For more than ten years, Jack worked in the human resources department at Detroit Stoker. He took a medical retirement in 1997.
Jack loved antique cars, and he had had the privilege of owning three over the course of his lifetime. He often traveled the state attending car shows. Later in life, Jack became a frequent fixture at the Senior Center of which he was a member. He had a great sense of humor, and enjoyed making others laugh. He was fun loving and charismatic, and people everywhere were drawn to him. Jack had the gift of socialization, and truly appreciated the company of his fellow senior buddies at their weekly breakfast.
