We want to express our deepest sympathy to all of the family. The Sullivans were more than just friends, they were giving to fullest extent. As a child going to their home was the most fun ever. We would play hide and seek in the big farm house and sometimes you never got found since there were so many places to hide. You could stop by at anytime to visit and their home was always open for anyone to come anytime. I will always cherish the times I spent with Gene and Peg and all of the kids. They will missed for many years to come. We loved them both very much. Gene always had t funny jokes and comments he would say at the dangest times. It was always a joy to spend time with them, especially during the 4-H times with all of the horses. Our love and prayers go out to the whole family. He will deeply missed. Love Linda and Dave Bungard
