Tim, thank you for always treating my sons as your own grandchildren right from start, and setting an example of how to live life to the fullest! Thanks to you, they both know how to swing a golf club and share your love of the game.  You will be remembered fondly by all of us. Rest in Peace.

It has been many years since I've seen Uncle Tim but without fail every time he comes up in stories told around the dinner table or in those quite moments of reflection about the past, the image of Uncle Tim, with a smile on his face and a heat full of love, springs to mind and I am brought great comfort in remembering that I was able to share in that love he had for his family and for the life he lead.

Love and condolences from Devin and Alanna Sullivan. Sannich BC

Sincerest condolences to the family , friends and fire service family of Tim. I had the honour to work with Tim at Mississauga Fire and appreciated his help and expertise in dealing with  children who were involved in fire setting behaviours. He helped many along the way and the citizens of Mississauga were well served by him. RIP Tim.

My sincere condolences to the Sullivan family . I always enjoyed our time together at Knollwood .

Our deepest condolences to you and your family Sheri. Hold you memories close for comfort. Rest well our friend Sully.

Condolences to famy ans friends alike who all feel the itreplacable loss of Sully. I remember him as a dedicted Captain back in 1996 and he ran a crew that all the rookies wished to be a part of. He was a great leader because his crew always knew they could trust him and he knew what he was doing therefore he made generally good decisions. I had the pleasure a a few meals shared and a few pints also. Life is short for all of us thankfully we can remember those we love and who have been partoof our lives.

very sad to lose a great friend for many years .Sully was for sure a fighter right to the end sending condolences to his wife patty and his family  Harry and Lucille Restivo

To a man who loved life. Tim you will be sorely missed by so many. Sincere condolences to family and close friends.  Tim cannot be replaced. Leave a space for him. He'll be there in spirit.

My dear friend Sully. You and I hit it off from the first time we met at Knollwood golf.  I was cutting fairways at the time and we talked for a few minutes while you were playing.  Your knowledge of the game we both love helped me and watching how smoth you hit the ball was amazing. I had the opportunity to play several rounds of golf with you and I got to know the man behind the club a little bit more.  They say you can get to know a man better in one round of golf than sitting next to him in an office for 20 years. Your personality was such that you were never short of players wanting to play with you. A little piece of my heart went with you today. R.I.P my friend until we meet again. My sincere condolences to your family at this time.  Your friend Johnny Mac.

So sorry to to learn of Sully's passing.  Our hearts are heavy with grief for you, Patty, as Sully was your partner and beloved soul mate.  We also extend our condolences to Sully's two daughters, Sherry and Aimee as well as the rest of your family.

I vividly recall the evening that Sully served as a guest speaker for one of the courses I taught at Mohawk College.  The students were engaged in rapt attention as Sully spoke to them on the topic of crisis intervention from the role as district chief in his firefighting duties.

Sully added a great deal of fun and laughter during our yearly golfing events and holiday celebrations.  Sully managed to live life to the fullest and leaves behind an amazing legacy as a firefighter, a professional olfers a wonderful array of family and friends.

Sully will be sadly missed.

A great dedicated guy and lots of fun. He will be in our hearts and truly missed.
Capt. Bob Read and Lorraine Read

An inspiration who will be fondly missed by so many. Love to Patty and to Sullys family. Shine bright Sully. ❤️

We’re truly sorry to hear of Sully’s passing. Our hearts go out to Patty & family.

We have only known Sully for a short time as new neighbours. Sully took the time to chat with us and share home owner tips and guidance, which was greatly appreciated. 

Sully was open with us about his illness and carried with him an admirable strength. 

We are honoured that we had an opportunity to meet Sully and have him in our lives, even for a short time. 

With deepest condolences, 
Melissa & Cam

Our deepest condolences.  I had the pleasure of working with and trying to beat Sully on the golf course numerous times.  He will be truly missed.

Sheri, I’m so sorry for your loss.

Tim—your dad, Sully to so many—was larger than life. As Chief of Fire, he was a true leader, but beyond his career, he leaves behind two strong, successful daughters—a success in itself. Just as he fought fires, he faced cancer with that same determination. His love for golf, his presence, and the impact he made on so many will never be forgotten. Over the years, I’d ask every firefighter I met if they knew him—without fail, they’d SMILE and say, “Sully? Oh yeah!” A true local LEGEND.

Thinking of you, Aymie, Nathan, Patty, your mom Sandy, your Nanna, and all of your family and loved ones. He’s at peace now, up in heaven, coaching the greats and sinking hole-in-ones on the best course there is.

I had the opportunity to work alongside Sully for several of years.
He took his role as District Chief very seriously and was always there to assist when needed.
Goodbye  to another proud Lakeview boy.

Alex Douglas

My sincerest condolences to Patty and the Sullivan family. 
Sully was my Captain and Acting District Chief for many years at Station 101. A great mentor during my early years on the job. A wealth of knowledge and experience, and always entertaining around the Station. 
Rest in peace Sully - you fought one hell of a battle.

My condolences to the Sullivan family and especially Patty. Tim was a  very special person and he has marked so many forever. A friend that was passionate in every aspect of his life.
He will be greatly missed

We saw each other occasionally on the job and he always was a great man, welll respected. May he rest in glorious peace.

My sincere condolences to my dear sister and my two beautiful nieces.    Sandy was a devoted wife to Tim for 30 years and I know she is grieving his loss wholeheartedly.  I am very thankful to Patty for giving Sandy the time she needed to say goodbye to her first  love. Sheri and Aymie can be very proud of the long hard battle fought by their Dad.  He was a true warrior in his fight with cancer.

Dear Patty. I heard about the passing of your beloved Sully.  You were one of my favorite people at St. Peter’s Residence and always remember how kind you were.  I met Sully on many occasions and always remember him being such a nice match for you and a fun guy.  I wanted to convey my deepest condolences 💐 Nola Bachiu

I have known Tim since he started dating my sister Sandy in high school.  I remember her sitting guarding the telephone anxiously waiting for Tim to call.   Tim was the love of her life and they parented my two beautiful, successful nieces that I am very proud of.   He fought hard right up until his last day.  Tim will be missed by many and is in God's caring hands now.
I offer my condolences to everyone who knew and loved Tim.
