To the Sullivan Family,
I am so sorry to hear of the loss of Mr. Sullivan. He was my Machine Shop teacher in the late 80's at Lane. He was a great storyteller and made the work seem like fun. Every once in a while, I come across the steel punch I learned to make in his class and think back on him fondly.

I am so sorry to hear of the passing of Mr. Sullivan or "Sully" as a few of us called him. He wasn't my shop teacher, but I was one of his aides during study hall. He was terrific and everyone loved him. He always spoke so fondly of his sister Jean. I extend my condolences to your family.
