Sully, you were'nt just my father in law, you were my friend , I always looked forward to seeing you, your sense of humor would have me cracking up. I will never forget how generous, selfless, and warm hearted you were, I learned a lot from you and you'll always be an inspiration. You will be missed but never forgotten.

Uncle Sully,
My first memory is when I was 6 years old. I remember you on your motorcycle driving up the alley behind Grandma's house in Harwood Heights. You were a little scary to a 6 year old with all your tatoo's and a big motorcycle. But you weren't scary at all. You are a big Teddy Bear who I grew to love with all my heart. You have been a part of my life, my entire life. I will miss you terribly! You will always be in my heart.

Aunt Mary, Margie&Jerry, Joey, Enza&Olivia, Pat:
I send my thoughts and prayers. I love you very much.
Karen

I probably haven't seen Sully in over 35 yrs. I grew up with him and always smile when I think of him, he was a character that I always enjoyed. I graduated grammer school with him and saw him right before he married Mary Jane Hudson. My condolences go to the family of Jim's he was one in a millon. I was hoping to seem Jim at the Harwood Heights reunion, I was disapointed he was not there.
Sincerely, Judy Koch McGough
