Thomas Joseph Sullivan, a 20-year resident of Naples, Fla., and a former resident of Monroe, passed away Friday, Jan. 10, 2014.
Tom was born in the Bronx on Nov. 14, 1927, to Margaret Mary and John Sullivan.
He had two older brothers who preceded him in death, John and Stephen Sullivan.
John married his high school sweetheart and the love of his life, Marjorie Ann McKeon, also of the Bronx. The two were married for 66 years.
Tom graduated the same year as Marjorie from St. Nicholas of Tolentine High School in the Bronx in 1945. He went on to graduate from Manhattan College in 1950 after serving in post-World War II Germany in the U.S. Army.
He worked for Chevrolet Motor Division for 17 years in Tarrytown and White Plains. He and Marjorie became dealer/owners of Tom Sullivan Chevrolet in Monroe in 1966. They jointly ran their business until retiring to Naples, Fla., in 1994.
Marge and Tom had five children and he was a devoted father. His family meant the world to him and he was always known as “the most fun father” on the block.
He was always active in the parishes where they lived and was a lector and Eucharistic minister at St. Ann’s Catholic Church in Naples.
He loved sports, getting together with family and friends and his humor and laughter always lit up any room he was in.
He was a great story teller, a trait his grandchildren particularly loved. He loved to sing and could burst into song on a moment’s notice. He particularly loved to sing happy birthday, his own renditions of it, to the delight of his family.
Besides his wife, Marjorie, Tom is survived by his five children: Kathleen Ricker (Gerald) of Colorado Springs, Co., Gail Sobolewski (Thomas) of West Sand Lake, Diane Dempsey (Martin) of Fort Myer, Va., Margaret Sullivan of Falls Church, Va., and William Sullivan (Patricia) of Walden. He also leaves behind eight grandchildren and 13 great grandchildren (number 14 is due in June), who all adored him.
Visitation will be held Friday, Jan. 31, from 5 to 8 p.m. at Smith, Seaman & Quackenbush, Inc. Funeral Home, 117 Maple Ave., Monroe.
A funeral Mass will be celebrated at 10 a.m. on Saturday, Feb. 1, 2014, at St. Anastasia Parish Church, Route 17M, Harriman.
Interment will follow in St. Anastasia Cemetery.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to TAPS (Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors), which supports families of our fallen service members, 3033 Wilson Blvd., Suite 630, Arlington VA 22201 c/o Mary Ellen Matheson or ALS Association (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis) Development Dept., 27001 Agoura Road, Suite 250, Calabasas Hills, CA 91301.
