We are sorry for your loss, we loved John. We loved it when he went racing with us and came to the farm and talked "Ford" He was a wonderful man and we enjoyed him very much. We will miss him dearly. Last time we visited him we had him practically on the race track ! He was shifting his feet and moving his hands, we had a great last time together. Rest in peace John, and thank you for your service and a being a very good friend to us.

'You would not be here TODAY if YESTERDAY was your defining moment. LIVE THIS DAY and move towards your dreams.'-Steve Maraboli. Mr Sullivan (John) was a great man. He and his wife (Dorothy) lovingly raised and educated four outstanding sons. Jack, Kevin, Marc and Michael have each successfully pursued professional careers in different fields of criminal justice and safety. Mr Sullivan never feared to stray from the path of mediocrity, in order to create a trail for others to follow. He has indeed left a positive imprint in our world behind him. I strongly believe once we have accomplished our assigned task in this world, we move along to the next task in spirit. You Sir, will be greatly missed. I am sure we will chat again. To Mrs Sullivan and your family, our most sincere condolences. We love you all. -Shawn Marando and Sonya Alemán.
