I remember Phil as an old friend from Cambridge . So sorry that I have just learned of his passing. May he rest in peace and his memory be a blessing

I had Phil Sullivan for English class at Peabody School in 1976 and 1977; he was my basketball coach as well. He was such a wonderful person, a mentor, fun, caring (even when he poked fun at me). I am so grateful he was and still is a part of my life (in thought) to this very day. I never got to tell him how much he impacted me in a positive way. Thank you Phil

He was my 7th and 8th grade math teacher and gave me a love of both math and computer science that lives with me today. He was one of my best and favorite teachers ever. Peabody class of 1979

You were my first "best friend." Russell School. Little League: Lynch-Post vs. Belanger. Cambridge High and Latin. The School Yard. A coke at Archie's, laughing until the foam came out our noses. Charlie's Kitchen. Cronin's. It was yesterday. It is forever. Rest in peace, Phil.
