Funeral services will be held at 11 a.m. Thursday from Thomas M. Sullivan Funeral Home, Frackville, with his pastor, the Rev. Sue Ketterer, officiating. Friends may call from 6 to 8 p.m. Wednesday and from 10 a.m. until the time of service Thursday at the funeral home. Interment will be in Odd Fellows Cemetery, Frackville.
