MEREDITH----- Andrew James (Jim) Sullivan Sr, 89, passed away on Wednesday, April 22, 2020.

Jim was born on November 5, 1930, in Boston, MA, the son of the late William F. Sullivan and Alice M. (Young) Sullivan. He grew up in a household with eight sisters and 2 brothers.

After graduating from high school, Jim joined the Navy, where he served on the USS Block Island. He married Joan Dupont in 1953. After serving in the Navy, he went to work as a central office test board supervisor at the New England Telephone Company. After retirement, Jim and Joan would spend their winters in Florida, until returning to Laconia full time in 2015.
Jim was a quiet man, warm and kind with a great sense of humor. He enjoyed skiing, music, dancing and playing cards, but most of all he loved his family. He welcomed each grand-and great grandchild with joy. He will be greatly missed.
