Sydney

It is with broken hearts that we, the family announce the passing of our beloved husband and father, Maurice Joseph Sullivan on Monday, August 14, 2023, in Sydney.

Born on April 24, 1931, in Sydney, Moe was the youngest son of the late Michael and Suzanna (MacKenna) Sullivan.

Moe is survived by his wife, Joyce Louise Sullivan; daughter, Rose Roach (Bill); grandchildren, Courtney, David (Amanda) and Makayla (Shawn); four great-grandchildren, Madison, Azara, Owen, Larissa and two great great-grandchildren, Hazen and Nova.

Besides his parents, Moe was predeceased by his son, Ronnie Sullivan and his 17 siblings.

Moe was raised in Whitney pier where he was an avid church goer at Holy Redeemer. He was the coach of the Pier Aces baseball team and loved sports, especially bowling. He will be missed by his tarbish partners at Sydney Pensioners Club, and by the ones he loved being around the most, his family and friends.

Moe, you left us on a special day, your mom’s birthday, but now you are reunited with all of your siblings and your son, Ronnie.

The family would like to thank the second-floor staff at MacGillivray’s Guest Home for their care during Moe’s time there, as well as Milo the cat frequent visits of comfort to his bed side.

As per Moe’s request there will be no visitation and a Memorial Mass will be held in Holy Redeemer Church at a later date when he is reunited with his wife, Joyce.

Donations in memory of Moe may be made to a charity of one’s choice.

Funeral arrangements are entrusted to the care and direction of Pier Community Funeral Home.

He was a great addition to Fastball in the Pier. The fundraisers and donations that he and his lovely Joyce did out of their home. If not for this there would probably be no ball at all!

So sorry to read of Moe’s passing. My deepest sympathy to Joyce, Rose and family. Always a great guy when we use to bowl and he was such a good friend to my brother Bill. If there is a bowling alley in heaven, they will be there. Rest in peace Moe.
