Roger H. Sullivan ’48

Roger Sullivan died July 9, 2012, at home in McLean, Va. A Mass of Christian Burial was celebrated at St. Luke Catholic Church in McLean.

Rog was a graduate of Scarsdale (N.Y.) High School. He was at Princeton from 1944 to 1949, but spent a year at the Merchant Marine Academy along the way. He was a member of Cannon and graduated with honors in history. He reported that he emerged from Harvard Law School “with an L.L.B. sans distinction of any sort.”

Rog was a lawyer and lobbyist who represented sugar companies. He also represented the Hawaiian sugar industry in its legislative program, and worked for the Panama Canal Commission until his retirement in 1992. Almost all his career involved working with Congress, and he said he enjoyed it all, “although I like retirement even more.” His chief joy was fly-fishing in the Catskill Mountains.

Roger is survived by Mary, his wife of 51 years; and his son Patrick. Son Brendan predeceased him. The class offers condolences.
