Al Sullivan loved a good time; lived life to the fullest

By Angela Bault Milby

I feel so Blessed to have had the honor to have known Al Sullivan as many of us have. I cleaned Al's house for several years and shared many laughs with him along with his family.

I loved it when his sisters would come over and they would sing; Al had a blast singing with his sisters. Geneva would play the piano while Al would sing. That was some of the greatest times of my life.
