This blog is being used for a book we'll be giving to Dave the night of the party. This book will be a collection of well wishes, stories, tributes, etc from all his friends, former players, coaches. It's very simple - like signing a yearbook. You can be as creative or simple as you want. Don't be left out. If you want to be in Dave's yearbook, you need to post your note by MAY 14th! Just email patrickdugg@gmail.com with your contribution and we'll post it for you.

Kevin Simmons, Referee and Executive Director of the Burroughs Community Center

Dave --- I have refereed an awful lot of diocesan basketball games over the last twenty years….almost as many as you have coached in the last 30 years perhaps.

When you walk in to a gym to ref a St Thomas game you are know you will get a well drilled, well coached and disciplined team. Talent is cyclical but the way that St Thomas runs their program is not – it is first class all the way and all the time. You are one of the main reasons for that and as someone who loves the game, I thank you for all you have done for St Thomas and so many players over the last three decades. It was always an honor to work a Dave Sullivan coached game.
