Seems a lot of good men are called to sit with God and the angels lately. I pray you find comfort in the memories gathered throughout your life with this inspirational father you loved. I am also deeply saddened by the news this afternoon that the man I volunteered for at the base, who has been in ICU for over two weeks, that his wife had to cease the meds keeping him alive as he wished no extraordinary methods be used to sustain his life. SMSgt Robert Sullivan was a man who served his God, his Country, his family, his community and everyone he came into contact with above the needs of himself. Bob believed his eternal soul would live everlasting and we all were but short term tenants of this earthly body called earth. Like your father, he is now pain and worry free. Like a very close friend I've known since 1985 said this evening, we all have an expiration date.

May God carry each and every one who suffers a loss of this magnitude through the comfort of his Holy Spirit. May we be rewarded with the memories of the good, and be comforted in the knowledge that our loved ones are now free of all earthly burdens.

Thank you, Bob, you taught me something new each day we had the pleasure of interacting.
