A FOND FAIRWELL TO OUR BELOVED FOUNDER
ROBERT B. SULLIMAN Jr.
It is with our deepest sympathies to Daryll Ann and the Sulliman Family that we announce the passing of Bob Sulliman on April 30, 2023. Bob and his lovely wife Daryll Ann recognized an opportunity here in Sun City Anthem to form the Republican Club, in 2006, a place where conservative minded individuals could meet, discuss politics, and share ideas. Through their creativity, ingenuity, and perseverance the 53-person group has grown into a thriving team of 350 members, with a peak of 500 plus members. The Sulliman’s have been actively involved in the Club from the beginning, and we will miss Bob’s booming voice, strong ideas, and power of persuasion.
Born March 17, 1946, in New Britain, CT, Bob graduated from Ferris State University, with a degree in Business. Bob joined the United States Secret Service, working details for multiple Presidents including Nixon, Carter, Ford, and Reagan. A true American patriot, Bob maintained his commitment to public service after transitioning from government to Real Estate, running for CT State Senate in 1988 and again in 1990. Upon relocation, he chartered the SCA Republican Club, serving as President. He also served as past President of the Nevada Republican Club. He was a strong supporter of various military and law enforcement organizations. A man of faith, Bob was a proud member of the Knights of Columbus, serving God as an usher at St. Francis of Assis.
Those who knew Bob knew he was a devoted family man. He lived for his and Daryll Ann‘s children and grandchildren, never missing an opportunity to brag about all their accomplishments. He looked forward to family gatherings where they would talk about life, sports, politics, and law enforcement. Born into a die-hard Red Sox family, Bob enjoyed watching games and talking stats with his mom, sisters, and kids. Bob adored his wife Daryll Ann. Their favorite times together included playing cards and games with family and friends, watching the Women’s UCONN Husky and Las Vegas Aces games, fist bumping each other after every basket.
Bob is survived by his wife and best friend of over 20 years, Daryl Ann, his loyal dog, Gabi, his siblings and their spouses Jeanine and David Goodhue, Carol Babb, George, and Lisa Sulliman, as well as his children and their spouses, Derek, Jen, Brian, Kate, Jason, Jean, and Jessica Sulliman and his grandchildren, Aiden, Chelsea, Lilly, Grace, Chase, Lucas, Joe and Thaddeus.
The family wishes to extend their gratitude to his compassionate caregivers and medical team. In lieu of flowers, the family asks for donations to be sent in his name to The Foundation Assisting Seniors, 2518 Anthem Village Drive, Henderson, NV 89052 or online at www.foundationassistingseniors.org.
A Funeral Mass will be held on Friday, June 16, 2023, at 10 AM at St. Francis of Assis, located at 2300 Sunridge Heights Parkway, Henderson, with a Celebration of Life to follow on Saturday, June 17 at 11AM-2PM in the Delaware Room at Sun City Anthem Center, 2450 Hampton Road, Henderson.
