Kerry on death of Paul Sullivan

BOSTON – Senator John Kerry today released the following statement on the death of Paul Sullivan.

“Paul was balanced, honest, fair and civil public discourse at its best. We’ll always remember him as a gentleman first, a journalist second. He cared about the people covered and the personalities he interviewed, and it showed.

“Throughout his very public illness Paul was always dignified, and he approached it with his trademark sense of humor. Despite four surgeries, you didn’t hear him complain. He resisted the most well-intended efforts to turn him into a hero, he just wanted to be the same Paul Sullivan he’d been his whole life, the genuine article.

“Teresa and I send our thoughts and prayers to his wife Mary Jo, his five children and everyone who knew and loved him. His family and friends can take some comfort in knowing how many people he touched in the fifty years he was with us. He will be deeply missed.”
