Puddie,
I am so sorry for your loss of your twin Paul. I came across this obituary several years ago and was so saddened. Now it appears it has been 20 years this October.
I remember all our fun times at Purdue, and as you know, I always had a crush on Paul. His smile was infectious. I hope all is well with you and the Sullivan family.
Would love to catch up some day.
All my best Anne `PutterĀ“ Sutton Tatem. [email protected].

To the entire Sullivan family,



Paul's death has been such a painful and devastating loss and I want to express my sincere sympathies to all of you. My thoughts and prayers will always be with you. Although I have much sorrow and regret, I am lucky to hold such fond memories of Paul and your family. He was an extremely wonderful and supportive friend and companion. The great times I experienced and the tremendous lessons he taught me will never be forgotten. I am who I am today because of Paul, I believe I am a better person for having him in my life. Thank you for all that you have graciously shared with me through the years at O'Sullivans, as well as at family gatherings, etc. Paul will never be forgotten, his love has a lasting impression on everyone.

To Puddie and the Sullivan Family,

Although it's been a lot of miles and years from Purdue I can still fondly recall Paul joyfully singing "Irish Eyes" on a fall Saturday. God bless.

It has been many years - yet it seems like yesterday that we enjoyed a laugh and made a lot of great memories at Sigma Nu. I will always remember "Sully's" laugh and the way that he always brought light to the room. He will be missed by all of us. I feel lucky to have spent time with him. My thoughts and prayers go to his family.

Although I haven't kept in touch with Paul or many other Purdue Sigma Nus over the last several years, I was stunned to read of his untimely death by way of a forwarded e-mail. I remember Paul always had a light-hearted way about him and good nature. I'm sure he will be sorely missed by his family, friends, and associates - my sincere condolences and prayers to all of them. Good bye, Sully.

Although I never met Paul in person, I feel as if I knew him. My brother, Bill Gillespie, and my Mom Bliss talked of him often. I know he will be missed. My sincere condolences to your family. I know the pain as I lost my husband only 2 and a half weeks ago. Mary Moran
