Mulqueen, James Dennis
October 3, 1941 - May 13, 2022
James Dennis Mulqueen passed away at Ramsey Village in Des Moines at the age of 80 on May 13, 2022.
Always known as "Denny", Mulqueen was born on October 3, 1941, in Leavenworth, Kansas while his father was on active duty with the U.S. Army. His parents were James F. and Kathryn (Moes) Mulqueen of Council Bluffs.
Denny graduated from Creighton Preparatory School in Omaha in 1959. He attended Loras College in Dubuque before moving to California, where he attended Pasadena City College. Denny enlisted in the U.S. Army in 1966. He was posted at Fort Benning, Georgia and at Fort Belvoir, Virginia. In 1968, Denny entered Army Officer Candidate School at Fort Belvoir and was made a second lieutenant in the Army Engineers later that year. He served in West Germany in late 1968 and early 1969. Denny was sent to South Vietnam late in 1969 where he was the commanding officer for a company of Army Engineers which repaired Highway One.
Upon his discharge in 1971, Denny returned home to Council Bluffs and enrolled at Creighton University. While attending Creighton, one of his meaningful memories was having dinner with R. Buckminster Fuller, the designer of the geodesic dome. Through the 1970s and 1980s, he worked on design for two packaging firms. In the 1980s, Denny began working for the Permits and Inspections office for the City of Omaha, Nebraska and worked there until his retirement in 1995.
Denny's interests included early computer and digital development, including ownership of the early Apple II-E computer. He was active in the Democratic Party and with several campaigns. Denny had a lifelong interest in film and was the producer and director of a 1972 silent feature "The Last Medicine Show," which was filmed entirely in Council Bluffs. This movie featured Denny's friends from Creighton University and some of the staff of the Council Bluffs Parks and Recreation Department. Denny was an avid reader of science and technology literature.
He is survived by his sister, Molly Hittinger, and her husband John Hittinger of Pearland, Texas; and his sister, Mary Kae Stott, of Littleton, Colorado; and his brother, Robert Mulqueen, and his spouse Tricia Lyman of Des Moines. In addition, his nieces Megan Stott, Maureen Haney, and Ellen Delgado and his nephews Jack, James, and Joseph Hittinger.
