To the Sullivan family, my most sincerest condolences in your loss. I was your parents letter carrier for several years and always enjoyed talking (goofing) with your parents. They were the "pioneers " of the Heights and I was right there with them. David always had a smile and a great attitude...no matter what he was going through. He was "a weeble"! Nothing seemed to be able to keep him down. My job allows me to get to know many people, but, some just plain stand out from others. That would be the Sullivans. May your memories help you through this very difficult time and may he rest in peace.
