Our Little Tomiko Family has suffered another loss.

Sullivan, Jeffrey David (Sully)

 

 

It is with great sorrow that the family announces the passing of Jeff on Thursday July 3rd, 2014 at the age of 47 yrs. Beloved husband of Shana (nee Mash). Loving father of Jacob and Tanner. Dear son of Sherry Sullivan & the late Colin Sullivan (Guylaine Sullivan).  He will be sadly missed by his siblings Pam Bethune (Brian) and their children Meg, Braedan, Addie; Jason Sullivan (Theresa); Marianne Culham (Dave) and their children Griffin, Sullivan, Dawson, Lyla; & Tully Sullivan and his daughter Jada. He will also be missed by his mother in-law Sandra Mash (late John Mash) and sisters-in-law Tania Gagnon (Dave) and their daughter Courtney; Kristi Smith (Greg) their children Morgan, Hanna & Ben; and brother-in-law David Mash (Erin) children Charley & Ronan as well as his lifelong friend Paul Ricci and many aunts & uncles.  Jeff was a well-respected Helicopter Pilot/Instructor in the Canadian Aviation Industry. Jeff felt very fortunate to have been trained by his father Colin Sullivan at The Canadore Rotary Program.  After graduating in 1991, he went on to work for various companies, hence following in his Fathers’ footsteps and becoming a Helicopter Flight Instructor. In his career Jeff logged over 15,000 hours of flying time and established his own company Helicopters Canada where he shared his knowledge, passion and vision for flying helicopters for students all over the world. For anybody that knew Sully knew that he was a wonderful man, a kind gentle soul with a soft demeanour. He was a great father where they enjoyed spending time exercising, going for runs and quiet time with his family. He accumulated countless friends through the business, hockey, and his time living in North Bay.  Family receiving friends at HILLSIDE FUNERAL SERVICES, 362 Airport Rd on Tuesday  July 8th from 2 until 4 and from 6 until 8 pm. A celebration of his life will be held on Wednesday July 9th at 11:00 am. Donations to the A.L.S. Foundation in memory of Marco Plutino would be appreciated by Jeff’s his family.
