He is survived by his loving wife of 60 years, Jane (Ward) Sullivan. His five children are Donna (Greg) Gutzwiller, Cindy Sullivan, Sharon (Joe) Martin, Darlene Sullivan, and Daniel Sullivan II. He was a cherished grandfather of 11 grandchildren: Michael (Liz) Weide, Heather (Tom) Goettke, Joey (Laura) Gutzwiller, Trisha (Steve) Boyles, Jaime, (Cesar) Carballo, Kayti (Cyle) Lovrant, Austin Martin, Devin, Cole and Chase Sullivan. He has 11 great-grandchildren. Danny enthralled all his grandchildren playing endlessly with them but he'd often had to stop and admit "You know Pépère's getting too old".
He is survived by his sister, Elizabeth Crean of Helotes, Texas and a brother, Thomas (Tater) Sullivan of Cincinnati.
Danny was a man of great faith, loving his churches. A communicant of Holy Rosary in N.H. and St Anne's in Florida.

He subsequently finished school as a Journeyman Pipefitter in Cincinnati.
After 20 years of raising his five children, he decided to start a new career in the heating business with Jane's brother. Later he spent four years at the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard deciding in 1994 it was retiring time.
Danny was the all-around handy man. He made belt buckles for most of the family members and close friends. He enjoyed travelling and cruising. He built his lakefront home and was always available to help all. Everyone was told to check Dan's "Man Cave" before buying because he had everything. Later he loved volunteering with the Rochester's Jaycees. Danny had a kind heart and on overwhelming sense of pride. He will be missed.
