My dad will be deeply missed by his wife and daughter, by his friends and coworkers, by fellow artists and comedians and musicians, and — the sign of a truly exceptional person — by many, many dogs.”
He passed away at home on June 27th, after a valiant fight against a long illness. Mull gained popularity on screen for Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman, and its spin-off Fernwood 2 Night.
