Pat "Pappy" was born March 23, 1941 in Waco to Houston Arthur and Lillian Roselind Sullivan. He graduated from Reicher High School in 1960. He was raised by his grandmother, Katherine Bley. During most of his life, he worked as a professional photographer. Since he was an entrepreneur, it wasn't long before he started his own business in sales. Although business wasn't all of his heart; he aspired to help people. Pat served the youth as an avid umpire for Little League. He helped strangers by giving them a job, opening up his home, or taking them to area shelters. Pat married the love of his life, Nancy Rose Bailey in 1960. As many people take pride in their work, Pat took pride in surrounding himself by love and family. He was known for bringing his loved ones together.
He was preceded in death by his parents; brother, Harry Sullivan; and his grandmother, Katherine Bley.
