John Joseph Sullivan of Los Angeles, formerly of Somerville February 4th. Beloved father of Kristin Amy Sullivan and her husband David Orr of Florence, Italy. Devoted son of the late Marion B. (nee Wholey) & Bartholomew Sullivan formerly of Kenmare County Kerry, Ireland. He is survived by his beloved mother Catherine Sullivan (Nee Kelly) of Donegal, Ireland. Brother of Ellen Sullivan of CA, Daniel Sullivan, Kathleen Sullivan of W. Roxbury, Cornelius Sullivan & his wife Nicole and their children Julia, Andrew & Bailey of Cambridge, Eric Sullivan and his wife Maura & their son Brendan of Merrimac, NH. He was a proud Marine who served his country with passion. His career ranged from telecommunications to general contracting, but his passion was ornately welding wrought iron. He was an artist, and lived life to the fullest with an ever-adventurous spirit. We will remember John for his mischievous smile, his loving bear-hugs, his crushing handshake, and the twinkle in his eye. Slainte!
