KENNETH SULLIVAN, FUHS '42

Sullivan, Kenneth C., beloved husband, father, brother and wonderful friend, passed away July 14th, 2008 after a brief illness.
Ken was born April 24, 1924 in Brea, CA to Arthur and Ruth Sullivan. He attended Fullerton Union High School where he met his future wife, Joyce Irene MacClocklin, at a Spanish Club holiday dinner. He had a lifelong passion for the game of baseball and was captain of the FUHS team that won the CIF championship in 1942. Ken served in World War II in the European theater, where he was part of the D-Day invasion, fought in the Battle of the Bulge and marched in the parade when France was liberated. When he returned from the war, Ken and Joyce married on November 16, 1946. He entered the construction field and later went into sales.
After retirement, Joyce and Ken enjoyed golf, entertaining and traveling with many friends over the years. Ken cherished his Buick Park Avenue, raising tomatoes in his garden, listening to ball games and spending time with his children and grandchildren at their family birthday parties.
Ken is survived by his wife, Joyce; children, Nancy Boyd (husband Jim) and Pete Sullivan (wife Nancy Lynn); grandchildren, Dan Sullivan, Kelley Sullivan and Jesse Boyd; great-grandchildren, Jacob, Ryan, Ciera and Eryn, and sisters, Kathleen Gordon and Marian Sullivan.
