Timothy F. Mullen, O. Praem.

1947 – d. Thursday, Jan. 29, 2004
Our
brother Timothy Mullen was born in Ridley Park
, Pennsylvania
in 1947. After graduating from
Archmere
Academy
, he joined Daylesford Abbey in 1965 and was solemnly professed in 1970.
Upon
receiving an M.A. in English from Villanova
University
, Tim began an 11-year assignment of teaching English at Bishop Neumann where he
was also house superior. In 1978 Tim
became Prior of Daylesford Abbey and in 1981 began teaching English at Archmere,
where he also functioned as Dean of Finance and eventually Headmaster.
In 2003, he was elected to the St Norbert College Board of Trustees.
After
the split in the Daylesford Community and the chaotic aftermath of the thwarted
‘takeover’ of Archmere in 2001, Tim made a transitus
to membership in St. Norbert Abbey, while remaining Headmaster at Archmere.
Sitting
in his favorite chair overseeing Archmere’s student body, this quiet,
efficient and dedicated man succumbed to a fatal heart attack on Thursday,
January 29,
2004 at the age of 56.
