At home in Livermore, surrounded by those he loved and who loved him, Tony slipped the bonds of this earthly veil on 23 December 2015.

Born on 12 November 1930 in Visalia, CA, to Anthony and Esther (Pedersen) Mulvey, Tony spent his formative years in the greater San Francisco Bay Area.

As a young man, Tony went to work for the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. At the Lab, he held increasing positions of responsibility until some untimely heart issues sidelined his career and he took a medical retirement.

In his retirement, Tony kept himself busy in a variety of activities and discovered a talent as an impressionist painter, although it did take him several weeks work on a painting of a tree before his true area of expertise was uncovered.

The love of Tony’s life and his support was his family, starting with his wife Frances "Terry." Tony met Terry while ice skating at Sutro's in San Francisco. From the moment they met, Tony knew this was the woman he would marry, and on November 19, 1955, they wed in South San Francisco and, for the next 60 years, they made their home in Livermore.

Their early married years were fun times that involved sports cars and going to the movies; Tony was a film aficionado for his entire life. Tony was a voracious reader and in particular enjoyed history books. Together they spent memorable vacations at the beach for all of their married life. After 14 years of marriage, Tony and Terry welcomed their son, Bradley (Brad), and this truly rounded out the happy family and kept life interesting.

Fishing was a major family activity for all of Brad's youth, and Tony was an active participant on the coaching staff for all of Brad's sports activities. Tony later became a “special grandfather” to Jesse and Miguel when Brad married Rose Sandoval in 2002 and Tony delighted in their close proximity in Livermore.

Tony was also blessed with the presence and help of his younger brother, Don and Don’s wife Kathleen, and Don’s daughter, Erin. In addition to his immediate family, Tony’s care group included an extensive list of nieces and nephews.
Tony and Terry were well-known in the Livermore area and it is likely there is no eating establishment in town where they weren’t welcomed as good customers and good friends.

Tony’s family encourages his friends to celebrate his life at a favorite restaurant and to offer up a toast in his honor.

The family would like to thank Hope Hospice, and in particular Lark, Julia, Amina and Camille for their excellent care of him during the last 15 months of his life, and as well his caregivers April, Linda, Zeny and Ace.

At his request, Tony will be cremated and his ashes scattered in the Pacific Ocean. A celebration of his life will be held at a later date.
