KANKAKEE — Edwin “Ed” James Mullady, 94, of Kankakee, died peacefully on Sunday (Dec. 13, 2020) after a short illness. Loving husband, father, son, brother, grandfather and great-grandfather, Ed was a kind man whose life was devoted to preserving the environment, in particular the Kankakee River. In 2009, the Bourbonnais Friendship Festival committee asked him to be the grand marshal of their grand parade. At the time, local writer Mary Ann Kirsch wrote a lovely article about Ed, and she has graciously allowed his family to include portions of it here: “Selecting Ed Mullady as the Grand Marshall for this year’s Grand Parade was truly a simple choice. For, if there were an official River Keeper for the Kankakee, he would be the choice, hands down. It is a role he’s taken on for well over 50 years and one he will hang on to as long as he can.
