Daniel Joseph Sullivan Jr. Obituary
Dan, 89, passed away on December 2, 2022, just shy of his 90th birthday. Born on Christmas Day 1932, in Pueblo Colorado to Frances Rose (Croshal) and Daniel Joseph Sullivan Sr. Dan moved with his family to San Mateo in 1945, and soon after married his beloved Bebe in 1950.
Married 70 years, they took great pride in the home and family they created together welcoming friends, family and friends of family into their home and to the dinner table.
Dan was a member of Painters Union 913 (formerly known as Union DC 13) throughout his career. He loved conversations over meals, golfing was a devoted fan of the Oakland A's and San Francisco 49ers. Bebe was actively involved in PTA, scouting loved sewing and playing hostess. The two of them created a legacy of their San Mateo home of 65 years.
They are survived by son Daniel Patrick Sullivan, two daughters, Linda & husband Geoff (Bolt), Darcy (Stallings) and six grandchildren who lovingly called them "Nan & Papa": Erin & husband Sean (Jones), Chandler Bolt & wife Amber, Justin Kutulas, Derrick Kutulas & wife Mary, Kendra & husband Karl (Reichstetter) and Hayley Stallings. More recently, Dan and Bebe were tickled to watch as their family grow, with 7 great grandchildren.
They are sorely missed and lovingly remembered.
Come Spring, a Celebration of Life will take place for Dan & Bebe in San Mateo. For more details, please call Derrick 650-922-3916 or email [email protected].
