Stuart with his daughter, Ellen FrancesStuart Mullis is one of those larger than life people you sometimes have the good fortune to meet. Physically he's a big guy: he was an All American football player, playing lineman, tackle, and defensive end. He played for the Valdosta Wildcats, then at Fort Scott Community College in Kansas, and later for the Seminoles at FSU. He is still plagued by problems with his knees, the result of injuries sustained from all those hits he took on the playing field.
He has a big personality. When you think of Stuart, the first thing that comes to mind is his awesome wit. It doesn't matter if he's at a dinner party, or if he's the emcee at a charity auction, or if he's on the golf course, he dominates the scene with his charm and with his charisma. And invariably he has everybody laughing.
It's because of this impact of the obvious that one might not immediately notice his most outstanding characteristic: his big heart. In this world of givers and takers, Stuart is a Giver with a capital G. He loves his wife, he loves his children, his mother, his family, his friends, his community, and most of all, his God and his country. His generosity is boundless, as is his joy in giving.
Even his work is all about doing for others: he works tirelessly as the executive director for the Valdosta Habitat for Humanity. (One cannot fail to mention that Stuart owned and operated the legendary restaurant, J.P. Mulldoon's, for years, that gave everybody so much enjoyment, and that we all sorely miss to this day.)
Tomorrow, November 7, is Stuart's 60th birthday, so please, whether you know Stuart a little or a lot, or not at all, send him an email and wish him a happy birthday. He's one great guy. His email address is mullis@mchsi.com or smullis@valdostahabitat.org
