William Sullivan Obituary
Known to many as "Sully," he graduated Townsend High School in 1971. After attending trade school in Atlanta, he moved to Knoxville where he worked as a video engineer for WBIR Channel 10 for over thirty years. You may have seen him in commercials for Cas Walker's grocery stores, Mad Jack Fielden's furniture store, or numerous episodes of WBIR's Heartland Series. After retiring from Channel 10, he worked for Macs Pharmacy and the Knox County Clerks Office for several years. No matter where he worked, he always had a host of friends.
Preceded in death by his father, Henry Wilson Sullivan, his mother, Helen Waters Sullivan, his grandparents, and numerous aunts and uncles.
He is survived by his wife of 43 years, Angela Sullivan, son Josh and wife Deanna, son Patrick, daughter Maggie and husband Juan Bartolo, daughter Libby and husband Jacob Myers, his 3 grandchildren and true pride and joy, Javi, Helen and Benny Bartolo, several nieces and nephews, many special cousins and the best group of friends anyone could ask for.
The family will receive friends on Friday, February 6th at Rose Funeral & Cremation – Broadway from 5:00-7:00pm followed by a Rosary. A funeral Mass will be held at Holy Ghost Catholic Church on Saturday, February 7th at 10:00am, family and friends will then gather at Lynnhurst Cemetery at 1:00pm for interment.
Dad always said: "Be kind to old people, children and animals." With that in mind, in lieu of flowers, please donate to the Alzheimer's Association of TN, Children's Hospital, or your local animal shelter in his memory.
