southeastvw · Posted: Tue Nov 20, 2007 4:59 pm Post subject: Perry Mull 1934-2007

This is just a sad day in the SE VW World.
I just found out that Perry Mull suffered a Massive Heart Attack this morning and is in intensive care at South Ga Medical Center in Valdosta.
Please put his family in your prayers this Thanksgiving week!

If you don't know who he is, Perry was one of the main VW folks down here in South Ga. He had acres full of VWs and had Mull's VW Farm.

I kept my first car a 67 bug going from parts at his shop and in his junk yard. Man, he was just at BugJam selling parts like always.

Dave and I and a few other VW folks went to the services yesterday.
The pastor had Dave and me park right in front of the church with the buses and said that is what he would have wanted.
It was a good service and he had a Air Force salute outside in the Cemetary with TAPS as well.

I am very sorry we missed it, but we are still in Atlanta with Mike's family. I still can't believe it, especially since we just saw him.

Looking through old stuff, came across this. Never met the man but it's good to see he was respected.
