Brother Sullivan was one of the best!!
Ethics: sophomore year - loved that class (still have some of those papers somewhere)! Physics: junior year - he taught me a LOVE for physics!
May he rest in peace knowing that he inspired probably thousands of students in many different ways!
My condolences to all his family and friends.
