So sad to hear of the passing of a warm and wonderful man. He was a mighty force to be reckoned with in boxing, I loved sitting and talking with him at the Eden Roskill RSA, and watching him hustle on the pool table, always brought a smile to face. Now you can share your stories with Gil Sullivan at the feet of Lord, Jesus Christ.
Much love the Gallagher-Sullivan whanau
