Thomas O'Sullivan Obituary
THOMAS MICHAEL "TOM" 81, of South Lyon, Michigan, passed away peacefully at his home on Sunday, March 06, 2016. Tom was a passionate man who loved his family, Catholic faith, Irish Heritage, his country, Notre Dame Football and John Wayne movies. He had a wonderful sense of humor and, like a true Irishman, he had a gift for telling stories and making everyone laugh. Tom devoted himself after retirement to serving those in need. He served tirelessly as lead of St. Vincent De Paul through his Catholic parish for twenty years and loved every minute. Tom is survived by his wife Eileen of 42 years, daughters Angela (Mike) Stiff, Annie (Steve) Campbell, sister Kathleen "Kitty" Kozlowski, grandchildren Stephanie Smith, Hunter Stiff, Claire Campbell, Aidan Campbell, great-grandchildren Harper and Koa Smith and his many loving nieces, nephews, and friends. Tom truly loved life and serves as an inspiration to all of us. Visitation will be held on Friday, March 11 from 4:00 p.m.-8:00 p.m. with Rosary at 7:00 p.m. at PHILLIPS FUNERAL HOME, 122 W. Lake St., South Lyon. A funeral Mass will be celebrated on Saturday, March 12 at 11:00 a.m. at St. Joseph Catholic Church, 830 S. Lafayette, South Lyon. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to St. Vincent De Paul at your local Catholic parish.
