Kathleen Anne Mulkerron

Her wonderful Irish sense of humor and her iconic, infectious laugh will be dearly missed

Kathleen Anne (Carr) Mulkerron, 76, of Winthrop passed away on Tuesday, October 28, 2025 at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston.

Born in Medford, Kathleen was the proud oldest daughter of John Keville Carr and Mary G. (Quill) Carr. She was the beloved wife of Paul Thomas Mulkerron with whom she shared 54 years of marriage.

Kathleen spent her early years in Somerville. Her family moved to Natick in 1956. Kathleen graduated from Walnut Hill School in Natick in 1967 and received an Associate’s Degree at Briarcliff Manor in New York. She completed her Bachelor’s Degree at the University of Massachusetts in Amherst. Following graduation, Kathleen worked for Federated Stores (Filenes), ultimately earning the position of Cosmetics Buyer.

Kathleen’s family summered in Winthrop on Point Shirley from the time she was a small child. It was here in the summer of 1966 that she met Paul when they both attended summer school. It was love at first sight, and they were married in 1971. They settled in the Natick and Framingham area where they raised their two Children.

For many years, Kathleen was a real estate broker in the Metro-West area, working closely with her husband as a broker and state certified residential appraiser. Later in her career, Kathleen was a proud member of the Steelworkers Local 12003 Union where she worked as a Customer Service Representative at National Grid.

Kathleen had a wonderful Irish sense of humor, and her iconic, infectious laugh will be dearly missed at family gatherings. She had a kind demeanor and natural curiosity about people and their stories. She also had unparalleled story-telling ability, making her both a popular host and guest of parties. Kathleen had a beautiful, strong voice, and was famous for singing “Stand by your Man” at Sunday afternoon family gatherings at the family homestead on Roundwood Road in Natick. Kathleen also found much pleasure in reading and often spent hours at local libraries. She loved being with her family, and was a fierce advocate and source of support for her parents, husband, children and grandchildren, as well as for her younger siblings. Kathleen always showed up for those she loved.

Kathleen and Paul returned to live in Winthrop eight years ago. They celebrated Kathleen’s 75th birthday as well as their 54th wedding anniversary surrounded by family and friends at their home in Seal Harbor.

Vincent Del Piano Jr.

Physicist, engineer, boat builder, vagabond under sail, art dealer and finally marine oil painter

Vincent “Vin” N. Del Piano Jr, 85, passed away on September 30, 2025, after a long illness, at Sandy River Center, Farmington, ME with his beloved wife at his side.

Physicist, engineer, boat builder, vagabond under sail, art dealer and finally marine oil painter, Mr. Del Piano had an eclectic and diverse life. He brought all of these to his art.

Born in Winthrop, he learned to sail and spent most of his adult life here. After graduating from UMass-Amherst, he participated in the American Space Program in the 60’s as an Electro-Optical Systems Analyst and laser physicist. Another 10 years was consumed applying his skills as a boat builder and sailor. Following that he was owner and proprietor of an art framing gallery in suburban Boston. This latter experience led him back to his own roots as an Artist, which he had demonstrated as a child.

Vin painted his knowledge of clipper ships, schooners, lobster boats, and dories with particular skill depicting wind and waves. Many who spend their lives on the water have commented on how accurate his paintings are. He once said; “The essence of my paintings comes from memory. I’m a studio painter. When it comes to painting the interplay of wind, sea, sky and way a ship or boat “lives” in its environment you can’t look it up…you have to have been there. Of course, if I intend to render a ship that sailed 150 years ago, I need to do some research to reproduce its detail, but it is the same ocean, the same wind, the same sky, the same wave under the stern, and the same spirit of the moment that I share with all mariners, modern or ancient.”

Vin has gallery representation at the Arnould Gallery, Marblehead, MA and was represented at the former Art of the Sea Gallery in South Thomaston, ME. He was a member of the International Society of Marine Painters and the American Society of Marine Artists.

Vin moved to Vienna, ME with his wife in 2010. Taking to homesteading with the same energy and enthusiasm, he renovated their home and took particular interest in landscaping, creating his image of a painting with the natural elements. He continued to paint well into his 80’s.

Vincent is survived by his spouse, Diane S. Snow; his sister, Patricia Stathopoulos and her husband, Anthony of Winthrop; his nieces, Andrea Stathopoulos of Peabody and Leah Lamb of Winthrop and his great niece, Alyssa Lamb of Winthrop.

He was predeceased by his parents, Vincent “Nick” Del Piano, former Commodore of the Winthrop Yacht Club and his wife, Ethel, both lifelong residents of Winthrop, brother-in-law, Peter Snow of Wakefield; sisters-in-law, Kathleen Snow of Portland, OR, Christine Snow and her spouse, Thomas Feraco of Spruce Head, ME, Michele Snow of South Paris, ME, and Carol Snow and her spouse, Jim Lash, of Dufur, OR. A small Memory Gathering of family and friends occurred on October 5, 2025, where many of his paintings were on display.
