JOSEPH M. SULLIVAN, JR STANDISH- Joseph M. "Joe" Sullivan, Jr, 71, passed away from complications of vascular dementia and Alzheimer's on August 21, 2024. He had been residing at Bay Square at Yarmouth and receiving care from Hospice of Southern Maine. He was born August 11, 1953, in Jersey City, New Jersey, the son of the late Joseph M., Sr., and Mary (McKenna) Sullivan who raised their family of six children in Pompton Plains, New Jersey. Joe graduated from St. Benedict's Preparatory High School, Newark, New Jersey, in 1971, and he received his bachelor's degree from St. Joseph's College in 1975. While in college, he met and married his wife, Valerie Weston, with whom he celebrated fifty years of marriage in February. After college, he worked for several banking institutions in southern Maine until retiring in 2018 from TD Bank as an information analyst and vice president. For over thirty years, Joe was an active and committed member of the Standish Lions Club, serving a term as president of the club, two terms as secretary, and a total of sixteen years as the club treasurer. Among the numerous awards and certificates that he received for his charitable work with the Lions, his most treasured was the prestigious Melvin Jones Fellowship Award (LCIF) bestowed upon him by the Standish club in 2018. Joe was an enthusiastic lover of travel…providing that he did not have to plan the itinerary. He lived for Disney cruises with the grandchildren, family trips to old Quebec City, and sojourns through Europe. He would get on a flight to anywhere if he could add to his souvenir cap and tee shirt collection. Members of his family include his wife Valerie (Weston) Sullivan of Standish; three children, Shane Zerillo and her husband Tim of Gorham, Christopher Sullivan and his wife Leandra of Gorham and Jonathan Sullivan of Arizona; 7 grandchildren, Siena, Anthony, Bryce, Conor, Ava, Dominic and Benicio; siblings, Mary Ellen Sullivan and her husband Tom, John Sullivan and his wife Nancy, Winnie Clapp and her husband Robert, and Kerry Morgan and her husband Donald; and many nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his brother Peter Sullivan. The family is grateful to the staff of Bay Square at Yarmouth and Hospice of Southern Maine for the care and comfort provided to Joe during his final days. Visiting hours will be held Friday September 6, 2024, from 4:00 to 6:00 p.m. followed by the funeral service at 6:00 p.m. at Dolby, Blais and Segee Funeral Home, 434 River Road, Windham, Maine.
