What a wonderful husband and father Sully was and will always be remembered for that. The Sweeney's have many happy memories with Catherine, Sully and the family going back to Brookland and St. Anthony's parish.
We will remember him and all the family in our prayers.

Mrs. Sullivan, Sean, Anne and all the family - I am so sorry for your loss. I have such fond memories of spending time with Sully at Foster family gatherings and of course the Super Bowl party each year. He was quite a character and was so proud of his family. I know you will miss him very much. My thoughts and prayers are with you and for the repose of his soul.
