In addition, he leaves behind a brother-in-law, Dr. Howard Bronstein and his wife BJ Bronstein of Meadowbrook, PA, and a niece, Laurie Bronstein of Philadelphia, PA; as well as many cousins. Frank was born on May 18, 1945, in New York City to the late Frank L. Sullivan and Patricia Broderick Sullivan. He graduated from Chaminade High School in Mineola, NY, received a BS in Hotel Administration from Cornell University in 1969 and an MBA from the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania in 1971, and served in the United States Army. Upon graduating from Wharton, Frank held several senior real estate positions in the banking and financial services industries. In 1984, he became one of the founding partners of Clarion Partners, a leading New York-based commercial real estate investment firm, where he represented some of our nation's largest public institutions and their pensioners, including police officers, firefighters, teachers, and city workers. He was extraordinarily proud of the significant returns he achieved for various public employees in New York City and beyond. Mr. Sullivan retired from Clarion in 2014. He continued to be active in the real estate community through his board positions and other advisory roles. In addition to his professional accomplishments, he was an Adjunct Professor of Finance at the Stern Graduate School of Business at New York University for 20 years, a member of the Cornell University Real Estate Advisory Board, and affiliated with numerous professional organizations. In his private time, Frank was known for gathering family and friends at his summer home, enjoying good food, and fine Californian wines. One of his favorite activities was planning family vacations to his two favorite cities, London and Paris, inviting his immediate and extended families to celebrate with him. He will be remembered for his sharp wit, love of family and friends, and magnanimous and generous nature. His generosity extended to those close to him, as well as many charities and educational institutions. A celebration of his life will be held on Friday, September 23rd at 3pm at the Penn Club of New York, 30 West 44th Street, New York City. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made in his memory to two charities; for those who suffer from the same illness as he: The Peter Frampton Myositis Research Fund at the Johns Hopkins Myositis Center, Baltimore, MD and for those less fortunate than he: The Holy Apostles Soup Kitchen & Food Pantry, New York, NY.
