Not sure what to say?

I have know bill almost my whole life, having first met him while a student at armory st school. That was my introduction to politics in Springfield.His first run for state representative.
Then while working out of state I was unable to get to the city clerks office when open to get my wedding license. Bill invited my wife to be
Geraldine Gour and i to his home to get the Marriage license.
Bill Sullivan was one of the most honest and trustworthy person
I ever know.

My condolences to Bill's family. I have wonderful memories of our get togethers with my husband Bill in Naples at theKofC, the Irish parties and at their club .Rest in peace Bill.

Dear Mary Beth and family,
I am sorry to learn of your Dad’s passing; always sad and hard to go through but particularly difficult within the frame of Covid restrictions. (We just lost our Dad To post- Covid complications in Jone). It sounds like your Dad was a hero to many, but he sure was to me when he scored those very sweet tickets to Springsteen for Mary Beth’s Holy Cross pals in ... 1978? What a great Springfield/ Sullivan memory!
You are all in my thoughts and...

Sending our condolences to the Sullivan Family.

I have fond memories of playing my violin at Chez Josef for Bill and Elizabeth when he was mayor of Springfield. He often asked me to play "Danny Boy" or "Galway Bay." I am sending my sincere condolences to his family. May God help you at this difficult time. Rest in Peace, Bill.

So sorry for your loss it's hard to say goodbye. He will always be with you in heart & soul. My prayers go to the Family.
I met Bill just shortly after I got out of college. I was welcomed into the Mayor's office in the last 4 months of his term. I will always remember those days and how kind & caring man he was.

Our thoughts and prayers to the Sullivan family. Former Mayor Sullivan was a good friend to our dad and family. God bless you all.
