Thomas H. Sullivan Jr.,age 77, a beloved educator and lifelong learner, passed away peacefully on April 15, 2025, at Hope Health Hospice in Providence.
Born to the late Thomas H. Sullivan Sr. and Nellie (Wegiel) Sullivan, Thomas lived a life devoted to service, education, and simple joys.
A proud veteran, he served his country in the Rhode Island Air National Guard during the Vietnam era.
A longtime resident of North Providence, and formerly of East Providence, Thomas made a lasting impact in the classroom. He spent over three decades as a respected mathematics teacher at Seekonk High School, where he inspired generations of students. After retirement, he continued sharing his passion for numbers as a mathematics professor at Rhode Island College.
Thomas enjoyed traveling-particularly to Europe and the coast of Maine-where he found beauty and peace in the culture, cuisine, and nature. At home, he was known for his love of cooking and his beautiful flower garden, which he tended to with great care.
He is survived by his loving siblings: Edward J. Sullivan of South Attleboro, Robert F. Sullivan of North Attleboro, and Eileen B. Morgan of West Greenwich, RI. Thomas also leaves behind several cherished nieces and nephews.
Relatives and friends are kindly invited to Thomas's Life Celebration to be held with Visiting Hours on Tuesday, April 22, 2025 from 10 AM to NOON in the J. J. Duffy Funeral Home, 757 Mendon Road, Rt. 122, Cumberland. A prayer service will be held at 12 NOON. Burial will follow in the Resurrection Cemetery, Cumberland.
