Lawrence M. Sullivan

Lori,
By coincidence, I happened upon this notice today. While student-teaching with me, you spoke of your father with love and great respect.
I say he raised a wonderful daughter.
May happy memories comfort you now.

Dear Priscilla, Jim, Tim, Lori, Gerry and the rest of the family: I just heard about Larry's death. I am so sorry I missed the services and seeing each of you in person. I know how much each of you will dearly miss him. For countless years he was truly one of my favorite people in the college. There was no more genuine, respectful or nicer man. So many hours we spent together, working on various projects and activities; so much so, I can easily recall how much each of you meant to him. ...

Rest in Peace "Kindergarten Cowboy" "Pearl" Collen's blog friend.

Our prayers that Larry is with our Lord now and in peace and comfort. Our prayers for his family and friends as well.

As Larry's "littlest" sister, I wanted to take a moment to thank you all for the wonderful words, the remembrances, the stories, the laughter and the tears your words have brought to us.

I had never meet Larry but we had corresponded in 2008 when he helped me gather some information for a Field Studies class I taught in Sierra Vista, AZ. He was a great help and I wish I had the opportunity to meet him and get him to speak to my class.

I never actually met Larry but feel like I knew him. His youngest sister, Colleen, is my daughter-in-law. She spoke of him often and also has that Irish storytelling ability.My heartfelt sympathy goes out to all the family and friends .

We'll miss you Uncle Larry.

I met Larry in the early 1970s when I was a young reporter at the Tucson Citizen. He had an advertising business then, and I worked with his first wife, Jeri, who joined the Citizen when the Sullivan kids were small. I knew Priscilla at Palo Verde High School. One of the photos I took of Larry in the late 70s, in full cowboy gear, was published in Newsday, where I worked in the late 1970s, and seen by half a million readers. He was the authentic cowboy in real jeans and boots illustrating a...
