Daniel (Dan) Joseph Sullivan Jr.: December 25, 1932– December 2, 2022

Barbara (Bebe) Sullivan was born May 30th, 1935, to William Lynus Dufau and Frances Grace Dufau (Carlson) in San Francisco. Bebe was raised in San Francisco until she moved to San Mateo when entering high school where she met Dan.

Daniel Sullivan, 89, passed away on December 2, 2022, just shy of his 90th birthday. Born on Christmas Day in Pueblo Colorado to Frances Rose (Croshal) and Daniel Joseph Sullivan Sr. Dan moved with his family to San Mateo in 1945, and soon after married his beloved wife Barbara (Dufau) in 1950. Bebe and Dan were married 70 years. They took great pride in the home and family they created together welcoming friends, family and friends of family into their home and to the dinner table.

Dan was a member of Painters Union 913 (formerly known as Union DC 13) throughout his career. Dan loved conversations over meals, golfing and was a devoted fan of the Oakland A’s and San Francisco 49er’s. Bebe was involved in PTA, scouting, loved sewing and playing hostess. The two of them created a legacy of their San Mateo home of 65 years.

They are survived by his son Daniel Patrick Sullivan, two daughters, Linda & husband Geoff (Bolt), Darcy (Stallings) and six grandchildren who lovingly called them “Nan & Papa”: Erin & husband Sean (Jones), Chandler Bolt & wife Amber, Justin Kutulas, Derrick Kutulas & wife Mary, Kendra & husband Karl (Reichstetter) and Hayley Stallings. More recently, Dan and Bebe were tickled to watch as their family grow, with 7 great grandchildren. They are sorely missed and lovingly remembered.

Come Spring, a Celebration of Life will take place for Dan & Bebe in San Mateo. For more details, please call Derrick 650-9223916 or email mkhkutulas@ gmail.com.
