Andy was vibrant the few times I met him....It was hard to keep up with his exceptional repartee. He also made a great impression upon me about how the game of poker goes. I happened upon this quote from John McManners: "The attitude of men to death of their fellows is of unique significance for an understanding of our human condition....The knowledge that we must die gives us our perspective for living, our sense of finitude, our conviction of the value of every moment, our determination...

Even though I never had the priviledge to meet Mr. Sullivan, I know that he was a great father as his son Tom is a dear friend of mine and the whole gang from CSB/SJU. Know that our thoughts and prayers are with the family and especially Tom and Marie.

I only met Andy a few times but remember him always with a huge smile on his face. Seeing the sparkle in his eyes when he saw his grandchildren says a lot to me.

My thoughts and prayers will be with you.
