Obituary

Albert (AL) Sullivan, 90, of Columbus NJ, formerly Burlington NJ, passed away peacefully at his home with his wife and four daughters by his side. He lived a good life and enjoyed his family, dancing, sports, gambling and eating a good breakfast to start each day. He was an avid Sixers and Phillies Fan and asked at least twice a day when they were playing. Al was a phenomenal jitterbug dancer, and he could command an audience on the dance floor and until the end this was the one thing he missed doing the most.

Albert was a US Navy veteran. He was in the US Navy for two years of active duty/two years of reserve. He started his career with UPS before his time in the service and picked up after he was released and spent 39 years there, retiring when he was 60 years old. After leaving UPS, he became a limo driver for various limo services and drove for a good 20 years, before retiring for a second time to spend more time with his family and all his other extracurricular activities. Al was not one to sit still long.

As his health declined, his family's goal was to make sure to keep him home and around people. The family had coordinated for all his care, which included a team of outside care givers to keep him comfortable and allow him to stay at home and enjoy every moment with his wife, daughters and extended family. His family will be forever grateful for everyone who played a part in his care giving and even those who just came to visit. He loved being around people.

He was predeceased by his mother, Bertha Jean Sullivan and his dad, John L. Sullivan and sons-in-law Samuel (Bo) Gladwell and John Karlesky. Also predeceased by his great granddaughters McKenna and Maeleigh Chester.

He is survived by his loving wife of 64 years, Bette and his four daughters, Marianne Farbar (Tom), Donna Karlesky, Kelley Polizzi (Gary) and Kimberly Sullivan-Gladwell. He is also survived by his grandkids, JD Karlesky (Jessica), Andy Karlesky (Sarah), Nicole Linder (Craig), Gabriella Chester (Michael), Antonio Polizzi, Christian Karlesky and bonus grandson Brandon Nilsen. He is also survived by five great grandchildren.
