Dear Bobbie and family,
We are so sorry for your loss. We just found out last week after reading the Hamburg Sun. We would have loved to be at the memorial-sorry. Jim and I have such fond memories of your whole family. We will always remember and appreciate you keeping our Erik a little longer at your house after school on the day my dad died. And we will remember Mike helping Jim when he hurt himself running by your house. And of course I, like many others. have the scars of healing on my wrists from his surgery on my carpal tunnel! We send you our love and our prayers for a healing grief for you all. Of course you know you can call us if you need us professionally and/or personally.
Love to all,

Bobbie and Family,
What a delight Dr. Mike was to be around! Always positive, a story or a joke to share. He will be missed by many. I heard today that his beloved Father Baker was elevated to "Venerable" and I immediately thought of Dr Mike! Thanks for all your hard work Mike. I'm sure you are having some great conversations with the Padre himself. And thanks to Bobbie for sharing him with all of us. You are in my heart, Chris Hotnich Ceccarelli

Dear Roberta,
Dr. Sullivan will be sorely missed. He was one of the kindest people I have ever met. When he came to my office and I asked about Colleen, Mike, Aileen, and Amy his face would light up. He’s so proud of them.
He’s in a better place now.
See you when I get home.

I am very saddened by the belated news I received about Dr's passing. Please know that I would have been there if I had known.
I will remember Dr. for his great sense of humor and his capacity to touch the lives of so many people in such a delightful way. He truly had the gift of healing.
God's blessings to you and all of your family. Dr. will be waiting when it is your time to be called home by God. I can see him standing with open arms to welcome you and your family at the gates of heaven.
I will always remember the great priviledge it was to work for and with Dr. Sullivan.

Bobbie, It's been a long time since I have been at Mercy Hospital, as I retired to The Villages in Florida. However, when I heard about Mike's death, I was deeply saddened. He was so cheerful, kind, accommodating and like no other Physician - so eay to approach. You two were a darling couple, who complemented each other. I only have wonderful memories of him - an inspiration to all physicians. Please know my thoughts and prayers are with you. God bless you.

Aileen and family,
I am so sorry to hear of the passing of your Dad, our friend. He was an exemplary human being. I worked with him for years at OLV and then had the pleasure of talking to him when he came to visit you. He was such a "good guy". He always had the best stories and I am picturing him telling them with a big pan of brownies up in Heaven! He will be missed but always with us!
Luv, your neighbor,
Mary Goodwin and the boys

Dr. Mike,
May the road rise to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back,
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
May the rains fall soft upon your fields,
And, until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand.
Dear Bobbi, Colleen, Mike, Aileen, Amy and families,
As you know, Dr. Mike gave me my very first job. The office could be a somber place, but he always made it fun~he the master of the corny joke! He always had a kind word and was never too busy to take the time for conversation. He was my boss for 12 years, but my friend for 30. His patients loved him, the nurses loved him and I loved him.
I always enjoyed getting together and regret that in these later years, life got in the way of spending time together. The world lost a great one when Dr. Mike passed. I will be forever grateful that he was a part of my life.
Cherish the memories you have of him and I am keeping you all in my prayers.
Love, Lisa

Sulllivan Family ~ Dr. Sullivan took care of many of my family members and myself. He was a remarkable man who took the time to truly listen to people and not rush through an appointment. Even seeing him out in the store with his wife they would stop and take the time to just talk about everyday things. I will always remember him with so much kindness. He will be truly missed by many people. God Bless all of you and please know I extend my deepest of smypathy.

Dear Bobbi and Family: I am so sorry for your loss and for the loss of such a wonderful person. I remember Mike as a resident at Mercy and you,Bobbi, when you were the nurse who captured his heart! You were such a great couple. I also remember when my late husband had Open Heart surgery at an early age and Mike took the time to call him and encourage him in his recovery... it was typical Mike Sullivan... just a really nice guy who cared about others. May the support of family and friends and fond memories of Mike bring you comfort at this difficult time.
