Rest in peace local plumbes r 55 brother

Dear Shannon, My sincere condolences to you and your family. May you find comfort in fond memories of great family times together.

I was accustomed to seeing Mr. Sullivan at Holy Cross for mass. He had an infectious smile and a twinkle in his Gaelic eyes. He would leave me with a saying that I have adopted as my own; "See you at the rail", meaning the Holy Communion. Wonderful man. Sorry about your Dad, Jimmy. Mike McGinn

Despite that Jim needed a wheelchair he showed up at the funeral service and the graveside of his friend Ed Esch.

Emily, you are in our thoughts and prayers. May he rest in peace.

Although we didn´t get to spend time together very often I considered Jim a good friend. We would talk about our Navy days & enjoyed reminiscing. Rest in peace old friend.

We had the honor of living next door to Jim and Emily for the past 16 years. Jim was the greatest guy, always willing to lend a hand, offer advice and tell a great story.we were honored to get to know his children and grandchildren and all of them were just as kind and loving as Jim. What an honor to meet and spend time with Jim and his family.we will miss him, he was one of a kind.

Knowing the Sullivan family has been a joy and privilege. Holy Cross (Our Lady of the Lake), V.A./St. Joe, basketball, football, social events strengthens our friendship. Jim´s Mom worked for me, beginning atthe age of 70 from Jim talking to me and was my loyal and loved employee. Jim, say hello to her, your sister and my husband, Howard. The group of girls from Euclid, 5 of the 6 widows will be helping Emily. ,

Very sorry for your loss. Jim and I were great friends (and part of the Plumbers Union). They don´t make them like Jim, he is truly one of a kind. Butch
