So sorry for your lost he was a very nice man and always so nice to me at the madison beach club were I worked at

Dan Sullivan was among the most decent, sweetest and kind human beings I have ever known. While it is many years since we were in the US Attorneys office for the SDNY, I remember Dan--an extremely effective lawyer-- as always having a twinkle in his eyes and a captivating smile. Went on a number of camping and canoeing trips with him back then on the Delaware. May the light from Heaven continue to shine on him and may his memory be a blessing to all who knew and loved him.So terribly sorry for your loss. Jim Schreiber
