Timothy Sullivan Obituary
He was born on March 3, 1943, in New London, the son of John H. and Elois (Phaelon) Sullivan.
Tim worked as an outside machinist at Electric Boat for over 40 years.
Tim will be missed for his witty, sarcastic humor and compassionate sense of justice. He was not concerned with image but was passionate about integrity and truth. He was proud to have served in the U.S. Marine Corps. He was a faithful, loving husband and father who left a lasting impression on everyone he befriended.
He is survived by his wife, Francine; a son, John Sullivan of Norwich; two daughters, Susan Smith of Oklahoma and Jeanette Martinez of Mystic; and eight grandchildren.
A memorial service will be held at 6:30 p.m on Thursday, Sept. 26, 2013, at Tree of Life Church, 122 Colman St., New London. There are no calling hours.

Wow, I can't believe it's been 8 years already. Even though you're gone, I'm still reminded of you. Every February, when's it Black History Month on the History channel, I always think if you. Every March, I think you, and anytime people are talking about the NRA, or the Marines, I'm reminded of you. I regret that I never got the chance to apologize to you for disgracing your family and hurting your son. I'm genuinely sorry for my actions.

Dear Fran, I'm so sorry that your life long partner and friend has left this earth. Find comfort in the FACT that he is now with Jesus and that one day you will be reunited with him. Perhaps he will be the one who meets you when your time has come, to lead you through the Pearly Gates. Take comfort in all the memories you got to make with Tim. He will be greatly missed and I'm thankful for the time I got with him. If you need help around the house I'm available. I love you
