PAUL MICHAEL SULLIVAN – LOVING HUSBAND, FATHER, GRANDFATHER AND FRIEND. PAUL MICHAEL SULLIVAN cherished family, was devoted to medicine and life-long learning, and lived his life guided by his faith and the Hippocratic Oath. He strived to be a good man and his heart was most content when he was in the service of others. He was adventurous and saw much of the world via the Nomads with his wife, Phyllis Sullivan, and best friends. He was a simple man who preferred to spend time working in the woods, playing poker with his friends on Friday nights, taking annual fishing trips, or listening to Arturo Toscanini’s interpretation of Beethoven’s 9th. His life was full of laughter, and outside of a good quad espresso and pipe, he loved playing tricks on others. He died peacefully at home surrounded by his family alongside his loving wife Phyllis (LaPrese) Sullivan of 63 years who together raised eight children. He is survived by; Patrick and Annie Sullivan from North Carolina, Maura and Chris Davies from Colorado, Katie and Brad Bishop from Arizona, Michael and Laura Sullivan from North Carolina, Paul and Judy Sullivan from Michigan, Brian and Beth Sullivan from Arizona, Molly Sullivan from Michigan, and Matthew and Molly Sullivan from Michigan, along with 15 grandchildren who he dearly loved; Colin, Cabriel, Laura, Megan, Gemma, Kelli, Alaina, Callah, Jake, Matthew, Noah, Nick, Brennan, Matthew, and Joe.

He continued his education at The University of Michigan where he received a B.S. in Biology, a Masters in Zoology, and his M.D. in 1959. He served in the army during the Korean War (1953-1955).
