I met Jim at La Sierra College, now La Sierra University, as we shared a bathroom between rooms with him and older brother, Harold.  I found him so intelligent, he studied very little and made excellent grades, I was jealous as much as I struggled.  He was premed, I was predental, and I knew he'd make a superb physician.  My father and his were medical classmates in CME '48, so families got together often.  I know that all of his patients were fortunate to have Dr. Mulder for their care.  May God bless his family and may he RIP until the morning.

I have very fond memories of Dr. Mulder.  I was fortunate to have worked for both him and his dad in Escondido.  I considered him not just my boss, my doctor but a friend.    People were always amazed that I had my boss deliver my children, but I wouldn't have had anyone else.  He was the best!  God comfort his family and know that he is home with our Heavenly Father.

What a great great man! It was a honor Mr. Mulder to comfort you! You always made my day and it was a pleasure  to make you feel comfortable! I loved the way you loved chocolate chip cookies and Scooter! May you rest in peace and surf the waves in heaven!!!!!

The Measure of a Man
Author Unknown/Anonymous

Not “How did he die?” But “How did he live?”
Not “What did he gain?” But “What did he give?”
Not “What was his station?” But “Had he a heart?”
And “How did he play his God-given part?”
Not “What was his shrine?” Nor “What was his creed?”
But “Had he befriended those really in need?”
Not “What did the piece in the newspaper say?”
But “How many were sorry when he passed away?”
Was he ever ready with a word of good cheer,
To bring back a smile, to banish a tear?
These are the units to measure the worth
Of a man as a man, regardless of birth

Jim Mulder was a good man, a humble man, a kind man with a great sense of humor and an obvious love of his family.  He will be missed.  RIP
