Born in Springfield, MA on July 31, 1932, he was a son of the late Timothy and Cecelia (Shea) Sullivan. Bill was a purchasing agent for General Offset Printing in Springfield for many years.

He loved history, especially pre WWI Germany and was an avid collector of Munich brewery steins. Bill enjoyed visiting his German “pen pal” numerous times and also traveling with his wife to destinations far and near. The U.S. National Parks were a favorite destination since they fulfilled Bill’s love of geology.

A Mass of Christian Burial will take place on Monday, November 4, 2019 at 11 a.m. DIRECTLY in St. Thomas the Apostle Church, 733 Oxford Rd., Oxford.
