Leonard "Len" William Mulley 82 - Bridgewater, it is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Leonard “Len” Mulley on Wednesday, December 15, 2010 in Hillside Pines Nursing Home, Bridgewater, where he had been residing. Born in Sydney Mines; he was a son of the late J.W. and Marion (Harnen) Mulley. Len grew up in Florence, Cape Breton, where he enjoyed the companionship of his many brothers and sisters. Len joined the R.C.A.F. flying NATO missions all over the world until retirement in Greenwood, after 20 years of service. After retiring from the service, he wrote for and obtained his journeyman’s electrical papers and returned to work for DND Greenwood where he finished his working career. Len was an avid outdoorsman and enjoyed fishing and hunting at his camp in Middle River, Cape Breton; where he also enjoyed visiting friends and family and would take great pleasure in rounding up a good game of cards.
