JACKSON — It’s with a heavy heart this St. Patrick’s Day Weekend that we report the sad news of the passing at home late Thursday after a battle with cancer of beloved Jackson restaurateur Tommy Mulkern, 88, co-proprietor of the Shannon Door Pub.
Daughter Nora Mulkern Bean said an obituary is forthcoming. What we can say is that a wake will be held at Furber Funeral Home on March 26 and a service will be held at Our Lady of the Mountains March 27, followed by a gathering at the Shannon Door.
