Dear. Kim,Scott,Karen, and the entire Sullivan family. I'm so sorry for your loss. Neechie and I grew up together in the same neighborhood and would play endless amounts of basketball at the old Mercer field Hoop courts. The best part of the day was always the walk home needling each other along with trying to make the other one laugh the hardest. (It was always a draw!) :) Neechie and I attended NLJH together and graduated from The New London High School as well! Neechie was an extraordinary friend. The best part about my friend Neech, he was loyal,kind, and a GREAT WHALER! This is not a goodbye old friend. Until we meet again, keep those hoop courts open! cheers old boy... Please accept my deepest condolences....Paul Pescatello (A proud member of the class of 1986!) Go Whalers!

Neechie and I graduated high school together. He was a force on the basketball court. Off the court he was deeply kind.
I send love to Scott and all Neechie´s family and loved ones.
