Arlene and Jaye, I am sadden to see that CJ has passed away. I had the pleasure of working with CJ at Canadian Canners. He was a terrific guy and I will never forget him. We worked hard but always took time to have a few laughs. Although it was the early eighties since we last worked together, CJ always sent my husband and I a Christmas card. And, we enjoyed the occasional emails he would send. We knew of his health challenges and, when a Christmas card didn't come this year, I worried that he had passed. So very sad to see CJ is no longer with us. Marilyn Micucci

Deepest sympathies to you Arlene and family. CJ was an icon in the Canadian Progress world and his legacy will live on. Thoughts and prayers with you all at this most difficult time. Tanya Matthews Canadian Progress Club Halifax Citadel

MacMullin Family, My sincere heartfelt condolences. James Maxim Calgary Progress Bow River Club

CJ always personified Progress in my life. He was one of the few members way back in my early days that encouraged me to go beyond my club perimeters. After 4 years of following in your footsteps as chair of CPCF I hope I did you proud.

We were fortunate to enjoy CJs company many times in Calgary as well at his home in Halifax, he was sincerely a great person thru and thru, from his commitment to Progress to his dedication to assisting others. You will be missed. Our thoughts and sympathy is with you Arlene and Jane.

MacMullin Family, my condolences on CJ's passing. I am personally grateful for the many times he would smile and extend his hand in genuine fellowship. I appreciated his generous soul and longstanding leadership to charitable causes. He valued friendship and reminded us that people can make a difference. Rest in Peace. Chris Yonke

Dearest Arlene and Jaye My sincerest condolences on the passing of CJ. He was a true friend and wonderful mentor. He epitomized what being a Progressian meant to me and I know many others.

Our sincere condolences to the entire MacMullin family on the passing of CJ. Wishing you all peace, comfort, and lots of love at this time. May he rest in peace now. With love from CPC Greater Moncton Women

Probably the fondest memories are of Moncton NB and the parties that were so much fun CJ would resume them the next night, and on one occasion even the third. CJ's 'larger than life' self filled Donna's and my life for many joyous years. The world has a lost a force.

Sending love and prayers at this difficult time. CJ was always warm and kind and left me with a smile on my face every time we met. He was truly one-of-a kind and will be missed. Alex Wilson

I didn't know you but if you were anything like your Daughter Jaye, you must have been an amazing person. Please know that she has a clan of crazy women around her that will love her, protect her and take care of her. Thank you for raising such an amazing woman that I can call a loyal friend and warrior ❤️

Arlene, Jaye and the MacMullin Clan, Pat and I were so sorry to hear of CJ's passing - there was not a better friend in this world. Whether it was organizing an event or just getting together for drinks on a Friday evening at the Duck - CJ was always there, arms open and a big smile for all. It was CJ who welcomed a newly hired Brand Manager (me) into Canadian Canners in January 1980 and it was the same CJ who welcomed us with open arms when we made our move to Halifax in 1995. In both cases, life was easier because CJ was there to help. Our condolences and love for all. Pat & Murray Souter

Arlene and Jaye. I was deeply saddened to hear of CJ's passing. He was always a mentor of mine having started my career working under his leadership at Canadian Canners and then Nabisco. I have great memories of team meetings and Saturday morning golf games at Oakfield. I know you will celebrate his life in style as that's how he would have wanted it. My condolences.
