Robert A. Sullivan “Bob” passed away at home surrounded by his loving family on Tuesday night February 22, 2022 after a long and courageous fight with leukemia. For anyone who had the honor of knowing him, Bob was an incredibly kind, patient, relentlessly hardworking, and generous man. Anyone that was fortunate enough to know him knew he was always willing to help anyone in need and loved his family and friends with all his heart. He enjoyed the outdoors, boating, camping, motorcycling, snowmobiling and skiing. He loved to travel and spent most of his off time with his family in Maine, Florida & Cape Cod.

Bob was successful in many aspects of his life and achieved anything that he put his mind to. He was an Eagle Scout before graduating from Shawsheen Valley Technical High School in 1981 and was student of the month in his senior year. He started his HVAC career as a technician, followed by a bold decision to start his own enterprise with his close friend John Breen; and Breen and Sullivan Mechanical Services was established in 1992. Since then he has been a man of many trades, and continuously maintained many professional licenses and certifications. He always spoke of how proud he was of his skilled, hardworking and dedicated team; especially holding in high regard his partner Jeffrey Beane.

Anyone who knew Bob, would find it easy to say he lived for the joy of his life with his wife Linda and daughter Kayla. In his home, Adoption day became an annual celebration of the proudest day of his life: the day he adopted Kayla.

He is survived by the love of his life and wife of 26 years Linda (Dodge) Sullivan of Boxford, daughter Kayla Nally and her husband Craig, mother Bernice Sullivan, brother Dana Sullivan and his wife Jennifer, sister Lisa Salem and husband Bill, sister Holly Pelton and her husband Brian, mother-in-law Sandra Dodge, father-in-law Francis Dodge, brother-in-law Robert Dodge and wife Laurie, sister-in-law Susan Brady, sister-in-law Jenny Solimine and husband Scott and many nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles and friends. His family is relieved to know he’ll now be spending his time in heaven with his beloved father Robert G. Sullivan and brother Brian Sullivan.
