Sullivan had been fighting ill health for a long time, and finally succumbed to his ailments with his family at his side in Arnprior, said Robert MacLaren, President and Chief Executive officer of M. Sullivan & Son Limited in a letter on the company’s website.
Sullivan was married to Coreen Lois (Bell) Sullivan for 54 years and was the father of Sharon (Tim) Norris, Paddy (Michelle) Sullivan, Maureen (Kevin) Bentz, Rick (Bonnie) Sullivan and Lori (Wayne) van Wyk.
M. Sullivan & Son Limited is Canada's oldest family-owned construction company. At the age of 16, Sullivan began loading and transporting bricks for projects overseen by his father Harry. Afterward, he worked for his uncles Dom and Mort, each of whom in turn served as president after their father and company founder Maurice Sullivan passed away in 1938. As chairman, Sullivan over saw the most prosperous years in company history, said MacLaren.
“Hard working, fair dealing and honest, Tommy upheld a tradition in which the company gives its partners all the information and support they need to do their best. Under Tommy’s direct leadership, M. Sullivan & Son Ltd. moved into new markets, new disciplines and new opportunities with confidence, enthusiasm and Tommy’s trademark insistence on quality before profit,” said MacLaren.
In memoriams to the Heart and Stroke Foundation or the Canadian Cancer Society would be appreciated by his family.
