Obituary for Donald F. Sullivan

In his later years when his health was failing, he resided at the John Scott House in Braintree, MA. The Sullivan family would like to express their sincere thanks to all the wonderful staff at the John Scott House for their genuine compassion and the loving care given to both Papa and had extended to his family. Beloved husband of the late Margaret F. (Ward) Sullivan. Loving father of Donald Sullivan, II. and his wife Kim of Rockland, Donna Sullivan of Weymouth, and the late Diane Dodd. Cherished grandfather of Jillian, Christopher, Joshua, Jayson, Jonathan and Stefanie and great grandfather (Grampy) of Victoria, Savannah, Vincent, Jaxson, and Jenna.
