I joined the Ancient Order of Hibernians many years after it was formed in Greenville, and viewed Mike as one of the pillars upon which the organization was built. He was always there to keep the Irish culture alive. He will be missed.

Dearest Sullivan’s, extended family and friends, our hearts are crushed by the loss of Mike. No matter how much you knew about Mike, you always wanted to know more, to hear more of his stories, to bask in his generous welcoming, his warmth and gracious friendship. We will never be the same because of the love and care he and Kaye bestowed upon us in the years we were neighbors, and we are eternally and fully grateful for the wondrous soul of this man. Our condolences to all who loved him. May we all strive to “be like Mike” until we meet him again in his Heavenly home. Oh! Just imagine the jokes he will have ready for us then. ❤️?? ??
