Richard C. Sullivan, 84, of Perrysburg, Ohio, passed away peacefully on February 7, 2022, at home surrounded by his family. He was born at home in Toledo, on September 28, 1937, to parents John and Wilma (Barnes) Sullivan.
Richard was a loving husband, father, grandfather and a friend to all. Richard was preceded in death by his parents; sisters, Colleen Honsberger and Tara Jones, and nephew, Kyle Sullivan. He is survived by his devoted wife of 60 years, Carlene (La Montagne); son, Sean (Holly) Sullivan; daughters, Deidra (Mike) Tammarine and Erin (Rob) Robinson; 10 loving grandchildren, Brandi Zeiter, Darci, Nick (Bre) and Jon Tammarine, Justin and Mason Robinson, Samuel (Ashley), Catherine, Emily, ∏ and Julia Sullivan; seven loving great-grandchildren, Reagan and Rilie Zeiter, Zoe, Collin, Braedyn, Braxton and Colt Tammarine, and his brother, Kevin (Lyn) Sullivan.
Richard served his country in the U.S. Navy, and after graduating from Bowling Green State University, he spent his working years as a salesman. Richard especially loved baseball and was a devout Cleveland Indians fan. He was happiest when taking in an Indians game with his family or visiting with old friends. Richard had a servant’s heart and was always striving to assist others in need. He forged his life after the principles of love, loyalty and friendship.
