In loving memory of Gerald D. Sullivan, 79 years old, who passed away peacefully at home on January 11, 2020, surrounded by his wife and children. Gerald “Jerry” grew up in Cambridge, MA, and after serving in the USMC, he moved to Cape Cod where he raised his three children.
Jerry spent many years working for the Barnstable County House of Corrections and the US Post Office in Dennisport before moving to Arizona. He returned to Cape Cod where he retired from the House of Corrections.
Jerry is survived by his wife Elizabeth and three stepchildren Michael, Mona and Wende, and his two children: Stephen Sullivan, Jennifer Viera and the late Pamela Sullivan. He had seven grandchildren: Sadie, Nicholas, Jacob, Michael, Jordan, Kaitlyn and Trevor, and four great grandchildren: Andrew, Lilly, Aubrey and Chase.
Jerry was an avid New England sports fan who enjoyed playing cards with his wife and long-time friends, fishing, hunting and playing his daily numbers.
Everyone who knows him is familiar with his Irish humor and loyalty to his loved ones. A wonderful husband, father and friend, Dad, you will be missed tremendously.
Feel no guilt in laughter, he’d know how much you care.
Feel no sorrow in a smile that he is not here to share.
You cannot grieve forever; he would not want you to.
He’d hope that you could carry on the way you always do.
So, talk about the good times and the way you showed you cared,
The days you spent together, all the happiness you shared.
Let memories surround you, a word someone may say
Will suddenly recapture a time, an hour, a day,
That brings him back as clearly as though he were still here,
And fills you with the feeling that he is always near.
For if you keep those moments, you will never be apart
And he will live forever locked safely within your heart.
Visitation will be held at Doane Beale & Ames, 260 Main St. West Harwich, MA 02671 on Monday January 27, 2020, 9:00AM to 11:00AM, followed by a service at 11:00AM. Burial will be follow at Massachusetts National Cemetery in Bourne.
