To the family of Albert Sullivan.........
It is with deep sadness that I have learned of Mr. Sullivan's passing. Mr. Sullivan was one of my teachers at Shaunavon High in Shaunavon, SK during the years 1961 - 1965. He was also my basketball and volleyball coach. I remember him bringing to life one of Shakespeare's plays and consequently, instilling in me a love of literature. I especially remember him for coaching me in basketball. He was a dedicated coach who knew how to get his players to become the best that they could be. I spent many an hour in the gym honing my skills. I remember with fondness the trips out of town that we took..........the bus rides, the games, the wins and the losses. Mr. Sullivan not only taught me how to play the game.........he taught me to rise to the challenges of competition and the importance of fair play and good sportsmanship. He was a very influential person in my life and had a big part in helping me become the person I am today. I now that Mr. Sullivan's contributions to education are numerous and he will be missed by all who knew him. Please accept my most sincere condolences. He is with the angels now........Cheryl (Tweed) Rowley
