Grandpa Sullivan will be missed by all. He was a good man, grandfather and husband to my grandmother. I always remember looking up in the stands and seeing my grandfather at all my sporting games when I was growing up. He was a man that would do anything ##imported-begin##Eric Sullivan##imported-end##

My father was a wonderful and exceptional man. We will all miss him greatly. He lived a full and long life and I will always hold him up as an example of strength and wisdom along with kindness and straight forward and true compassion for his fellowman. ##imported-begin##Ron Sullivan##imported-end##
