Dear Sullivan Family,
So sorry to hear of Mr.Sullivan's passing. The few times I had the pleasure of his company, while Marita and I were at USD together, I knew I was in the presence of a unique individual. He was so interesting and full of fun; generous in sharing his many philosophies about life. My husband also has fond memories of our visit with Mr.Sullivan, while in Chicago. From one Irishman to another, "Dan Sullivan was the real deal".
Gods Blessing's to you all.
