So sad to hear of Jack’s passing. We were next door neighbors and our parents were good friends on Waterbury St. during childhood. Jack never failed to seek me out if he saw me from a distance for a bit of reminiscing about our childhood and the neighborhood. He had a big heart and I know he will be dearly missed by all who knew and loved him.

Dear Sullivan family, I was sorry to hear of Jack's passing and wanted to convey my prayers and sympathy to all of you. In doing ancestry, I found Jack was my 3rd cousin - because our great-grandmothers were sisters. I used to run into him at the Elks dinners and the pharmacy and always enjoyed our chats.
