With great sadness, we announce the passing of Richard “Sully” Roger Wayne Sullivan on October 9, 2022, at the age of 74, at Lakeridge Health Oshawa. Beloved husband to Kathy, and cherished father to Derek (Katrina), and Tara, and proud Papa of Vincent and Richard. Survived by his siblings Ronald, Carol, and Diane. Pre-deceased by his parents Alfred and Mildred Sullivan (his step-dad Reginald Forster), and his siblings Alfred Sullivan, Viola Hillock, and baby Freddy. Rick will be fondly missed by his brother in law and best friend Jeff (Joyce) Taylor, and predeceased by his sister and brother in law Sue and Gary Taylor. Rick will be missed by many and all nieces, nephews, family and friends, new and old.

Rick was born on March 9, 1948 in Toronto, Ontario. He had a proud career in law enforcement and retired in 2007. Rick continued to be involved and loved his police association gatherings, retirement get-togethers, golf days, and his woodworking group.

Was honoured to have worked with Sully and formed a friendship. A true gentleman and always a pleasure to spend time. If there were more Rick Sullivans in the world, we'd be eternally grateful. Thanks Sully, for your kindness and humanity
