Not sure what to say?

Mr. Sullivan was my 7th and 8th grade math teacher and also our MESA advisor. Building bridges out of popsicle sticks and white glue that can take pressure over a ton, mouse traps cars, egg drops and youth science retreats are still some of my greatest memories to date. We put many gold medals on the scoreboard for Mr. Sullivan. I joined the marines, partly inspired by his service. I am saddened to see he has passed from this world, the world is a little darker without him. My condolences...

Condolences to Mr. Sullivan and to his family. Mr. Sullivan was my 7th and 8th grade math teacher at Curran Junior High (now Curran Middle School) in the early 90s.

Mr. Sullivan was my 7th grade math teacher. I´m 44 years old now and he was the best math teacher I ever had. He had a way of teaching that made it all "make sense".

I will miss Mikes friendship. Mikes attention to detail were the cornerstone to improvements in Airborne photography in the Civil Air Patrol. Mike was one of the first people I met at CAP and we worked together for many years. We also traded information on EV cars and solar systems. And talked about Mikes Tesla racing. I am going to miss Mike.

Such a bright light gone too soon. We will hold you in our hearts, Michael.
