Mr. Sullivan loved hunting, fishing, and camping all over Maine and Vermont. He enjoyed boating, water skiing, listening to the Boyd family members play and sing, and was an avid reader, especially books about WWII. Mr. Sullivan was referred to as the local historian and was relied on by family, friends, and the Historical Society for details about the Deerfield Valley, as his memory was so broad and accurate. He was a member of the American Legion Nelson E. Pickwell Post 15 in Wilmington, the VFW in Brattleboro, and the NRA. Mr. Sullivan is survived by his children, Edward Sullivan and his wife Julie, of Wilmington; Shirlee Sullivan, of Whitingham; Jo-Ann Ward, of Hudson Falls, NY; Sandra Gilderdale and her husband David, of East Randolph; Eugenia Shearer and her husband William, of Colrain, MA, and Joni Sullivan and her partner Reginald, of Whitingham; 15 grandchildren; 19 great-grandchildren; nine great-great-grandchildren; and many nieces, nephews and cousins. Mr. Sullivan was preceded in death by his wife Hannah Nolan Sullivan, whom he married in Wilmington on February 2, 1946. She was the love of his life and partner in all things called family. Mrs. Sullivan died June 15, 2008.
