He was born February 1, 1927 in Mayo, Florida to the late William Henry Sullivan and Clyde Miller Sullivan. Tom was drafted into the United States Army during World War II where he honorably served his country. In 1948, while in Mississippi, Tom was walking down the street and met the love of his life, Marie Boudreaux, and her family. He quickly fell in love and they were later married on August 20, 1950. Tom was a crane operator by trade and worked more then 35 years in this industry. He moved to Bradford County in 1985 and was a member of Morgan Road Baptist Church.
