In Memoriam: Dave Sullivan
GAWDA extends its condolences to the friends and family of David “Sully” Sullivan who tragically passed away recently. Sully retired from 3M and was a long-time dedicated member of GAWDA, as well as AWS and WEMCO. Everybody who knew Sully around GAWDA loved him and will remember him. He will be missed.
According to a post on LinkedIn from Bob Ranc, “His family is going to have a celebration of life on Saturday August 31 in Westerville, Ohio. This is a suburb of Columbus. If you are interested some of us will be coming in on Thursday night and playing golf on Friday in what will be called “The Sully Memorial Golf Outing” If you are interested in attending please message me include your email so I can add you to the list for information on hotels and the outing. R.I.P. Sully!
