We are deeply saddened to announce that Daniel Sullivan ’62, a beloved husband, father, grandfather, opera singer, and voice teacher passed away on February 18, 2017.

Dan had a notable performance career, full and robust life, and courageous 12-year battle with Multiple Myeloma, fortunate to be on the cutting edge of research and multiple trials with the Beth Israel Hematology and GI Oncology teams.

Dan the performing artist will be remembered as a consummate professional and supportive colleague. Dan as a man will be remembered by those closest as a true artist, who found the creative in everything, and made a conscious choice in “one thing every day.” In the last few years, Dan turned to the visual arts to express his cancer experience, and shared Sullivan Studios each year at JP Open Studios with family artists Molly and Reilly. He loved the theater and his family—no role and no job was too small or menial for him to take on with great purpose. Dan performed with the greats in international venues but also  truly loved to repair, paint and build props, sing in the church choir, beef up the bass section of the university opera, and do roles with kids. He was an encourager, a dreamer, and a champion for others.
