Dearest Sullivan family. I am the most oldest friend from Senior Drive growing up with the entire family. I was there when the boys after Brian were born. I recently heard of Tom's death from our friend Jimmy Foster - also Senior Drive vet. I can not express my shock in this loss. We had such great memories. The sullivans made an entire team when playing. I pray that he is looking down knowing how much everyone loves him and will truly miss him. As the 1 year approaches - I pray that his memories fill your hearts and comfort you.

To the Tom Sullivan family:
My deepest sympathy to the entire family.
May God bless each of you during this most difficult time.

We are posting a photo of Tom & the Pittsburgh Gang in "Guest Book Photos" from our wedding on September 6th 1980. Tom is 3rd from the left and giving a thumbs up! I hope it brings back happy memories for the Sullivans. I previously posted my thoughts here on March 8th 2011, Jeff Taylor

My name is Jeff Taylor. I've known Tom since 1975 when I worked with him at Denny's. Looking back those were lonely years for me as an older teen-ager & young adult. Tom's friendship and companionship helped get me through those years. We cruised in the "Nova" & "Monte Carlo" vacationed in Hilton Head once. He followed Brian Hohman, Nick Puglin & myself to Houston, Tx. in 79 to find work. I was there when his son Tom was born. (I looked his son up and his pic looks just like his Dad when he was young). We remained good friends till 1986 or so at which time he moved back to the "Burgh" and we lost touch (which was my fault not his). Since then I have thought of Tom many times Since then I have grown closer to my precious wife Estela of over 30 years, we have had four children, gained a daughter-in-law, and a grandson. I also was blessed to found and I continue to run a very successful small business. My greatest joy is that I gave my life to the Lord Jesus Christ. I turned my life around & had to sever a lot of ties. However, I should have kept in touch with "Sully". I am shocked and saddened to hear of his passing. Upon reading this guest book I am delighted to see just how much he was loved and am not at all surprised to see what a good man he continued to be. May God bless the Sullivan family and may he give you the peace and comfort that only he can give which transcends all understanding.

I am in shock

I am in shock and really loved talking with Tom about anything and everything. Just saw him walking into work on a Sunday in November while I was skating and asked him to join in. Will miss him.

Please accept my deepest sympathies.

Tom was a best friend to me. I'm truly going miss talking to him about everything from "wingnuts" to real estate. He has helped me a great deal in my professional and personal life. I will never forget him.

I want to thank everybody and so would my family. Im Thomas Sullivan Jr son Thomas Sullivan III. Dad I love you so much RIP

To Family & Friends of Tom:

Knowing Tom for just the past three years, I sensed he took a genuine interest in those he served and the business he was in. He truly cared, and was, indeed, a good man. He will be missed, yet will leave many with fond memories.

Tom was a loyal and dedicated friend. He was a wonderful person. I am still in shock and will miss him dearly. Over the years, he has been such a generous person - from the days of Friends United for Need and his support of fundraising for Sisters Place. I have known him for fifteen years and will have a hole in my heart for him.

Sullivan Family and closest friends;I am saddened to learn of Tom's passing. We spent more than a few chance meetings in PPG Square talking politics , city development and many other subjects. Tom was one of the good commercial agents in town.You never worried about his ethics or approaches to our business.

MindMatrix Inc. would like to offer our sympathies to Tom's family in this difficult time. He was a loyal long time customer and friend. We will miss him greatly.

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Sullivan,
I was shocked to learn of Tom's death. I am so very sorry for you and your family. I met Tom years ago when I worked at Buchanan Ingersoll and he was at the Business Times. We became quick friends and shared many lunches and phone conversations together. We had so much to talk about that we each started to come to lunch with a list of topics to eagerly share with each other! That was many years ago and over the years I have thought of him often, always with a smile. I know how he loved his family and life. May God give you the strength you need to get through this difficult time. What a special man he was.

Hello Dan, Sorry to hear about your brother's passing into Heaven.May GOD bless you all with happier memories and comfort.
Retired from Mellon Bank in 1996.

Tom was so warm, kind and genuine and I will miss him so very much. I knew Tom's weekly routine so I always felt like I could find him if I needed him and I did need him so much. He helped me get through so much pain when one of his best friend's and my husband Rod passed away last year. I talked to him about my fears, my guilt, my pain and he always knew exactly what to say to make me feel better and he always took the time to listen. When I would walk into Bossa Nova, he would say "there's the rock star" knowing that it would bring a smile to my face and then he would be so proud to let everyone know about my CD and Video. He knew how to bring out the best in people because he really took an interest and cared for his friends. It breaks my heart that I will not be able to see him but I hope that he is with Rodney and that they are making each other smile and laugh like they always did. My condolences and deepest heartfelt sympathy to his family. I know that he touched my life and so many others. He will be greatly missed. Ronda Zegarelli

My name is Rich Robson. I worked with both Tom and Danny at Denny's on 51 back in the mid 70's. I was looking at the obituaries in the PG for a friend's grandfather when I came upon Tom's name. Was hoping it was not him, and I am so sorry to see it actually was. God bless Tom and all of his family and friends. Miss you guys and the "good old days".

Dan & Family,

I am so sorry to here of Tom's passing. I have known Tom for sometime and have seen him Downtown pretty much since my working in town.

I am truly shocked and saddened to hear of Tom's death. I have known "Tommie" for more than 20 years, dating back to his time at Executive Report Magazine. I will truly miss his enthusiastic approach to the world, but most of all, his infectious laugh.
My thoughts and prayers go out to Tom's family and friends. He will truly be missed.

Uncle Tom and Aunt Eileen (and all the kids),

Words can not express our sorrow for your loss. Tom will always be special and we are better off for having him in our lives. He will be missed and loved always.

May God bless you and your family during this time of sadness and always. You will be missed.

Tom was a true friend, not interested in being fake, Tom was genuine, loyal and kind. I will truly miss him.

I've known Tom for more than 20 years, having met him first at the Pittsburgh Business Times. He was a great person and friend, and very loyal to downtown Pittsburgh and trying to make it a better place for all. He will be missed.
