Bill was all that God intended him to be. So nice and cheerful. He loved Jesus and it showed. Worked with him at Wagner's with Don, Bob and Greg. Also played baseball with Don & Bob on the Northtown Pirates. I consider myself a friend of all his sons. When I last saw Bill, it was at an election in 2015. I talked to him so long he had to pardon himself as he reminded me he was getting up there in years and had to go. I could have talked to Bill for hours. His stories of Wagner and WWII were awesome! Loved that man.God bless the Sullivan family and may perpetual light shine upon him, in Jesus name we pray.Nick Beauford
I was honored with being Bill and Eleanor Sullivan's God-child. From my earliest memories, they were a major influence in my life. Growing up, I had a million questions that needed answers and Pa (Bill) would always explain things in a way I could understand and learn. He was always patient and kind. There was never a time he wouldn't give me an honest answer for those tough questions in life. He and Ma were my second set of parents that God had blessed me with. Loving me unconditionally. I'll miss you terribly Pa, but I am also happy knowing you and Ma are back together. Thank you for always being there for me. I will forever hold you in my heart.

Mr. Sullivan was a great scoutmaster. He was always organized, cared for the scouts and made sure everyone was involved. He was my second scoutmaster and the one I remember most. He was a busy man because Troop 134 had (to my recollection) 20 to 30 scouts to look after. Thank you, Mr. Sullivan, for your contribution to the scouts of Troop 134. It was your example that lead me to re-join scouts and become the assistant scoutmaster of Troop 134.
