I first met Tim in 1964, when Montclair State played a football game against Cortland, in Cortland. I was on Montclair's defensive line and Tim was on Cortland offensive line. I can still remember what a tough, tenacious player he was. He had this never give up attitude that could just drive an opposing player crazy.

My condolences to all of Tim's family.

I loved Prof. Sullivan. He had a huge impact on my life. As a junior Phys. Ed major I had an emotional breakdown. I was failing everything because I didn't go to class. The first teacher I went to talk to was Prof Sullivan. He was so wonderful to me. He offered to go and talk to all my other teachers with me and to help me catch up on all my classes. He was so understanding and supportive. I speak of him all the time. I didn't fail out and caught up on all my classes with his help...

Tim Sullivan was my master's thesis advisor in the 90's. He was a great mentor and a great person and was instrumental in me getting my degree. May he rest in peace.

Prayers of peace and comfort for the family and friends of Tim. He was a wonderful professor,(one of my favorites),and person.

Tim always had a smile and he was willing to help if you needed it. He will look down on us with a smile. We have lost a great Man.
