Very sorry to hear of this loss.  We valued John as a friend and business partner.  Rose Miller - Kimberly-Clark

O John, I liked the world better with you in it, I'm so sorry for those you left behind.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

Rest in Peace John,
Thank you for making me feel important and that my opinion mattered when I was green in this business of plastic recycling.  I loved doing business with you and regarded you as a friend.
Love

Emelyn, Rob and I are brokenhearted for your loss and praying for you and your family!

My deepest sympathy to the Sullivan Family. May the God of all comfort give you peace and strengthen you during this difficult time (Psalms 29:11)

My heart breaks for you Emelyn and your family.  I was stunned to see of John's passing.  I have done business with John for over 20 years and throughout those years we talked about our families, their struggles and their milestones.  He always talked about you Emelyn with so much love. It was obvious how much he loved his children and grandchildren.  I always looked forward to seeing his smiling face at trade shows and talking with him about our crazy business.  May your memories be a blessing.

I knew John for over 17 years and he would always take the time to stay in touch. We talked for long periods of time as he took the time to care about your life. We didn't talk much about business but more about his love for his family, our similar Irish roots and our connection with New Orleans. He was a very kind man with a big personality. I will miss him!! My heart goes out to his family and coworkers at United Recycling. My prayers are with you all. Colleen.lehnen@gmail.com Professional Polymers, Inc.

One of a kind and larger than life this guy.  The fun times and game day reunions that he gave to so many are such great memories.  The generosity that he so graciously exhibited to my family and the endless Alabama fans will NEVER EVER be forgotten.  The mold is broken but GOSH we all experienced a JOHNNY like no other!  RIP JOHN....WE all will miss you so much and game day in Tuscaloosa definitely  has lost its finest member!  RTR

To the family, John was my great friend. I am absolutely shocked and saddened by this news.We did business together for 20 years.We always  talked about the crimsom tide and shared the love of the tide together. We played golf at the country club,went to the Masters together and he gave me tickets to both from time to time.I could go on and on. I really loved John and I know you all heart broken. God bless you all and I will never forget him. You all are in my prayers.Love, Phil Cavin,Summerville,Ga, pcavin1022@gmail.com

My deepest and most sincere condolences to all of John's family. I will miss my friend.
