James Kenneth Sullivan

was born in Hardin County, Tennessee on October 25, 1940, the son of the late Reeder Owen and Hazel Hardin Sullivan.

James worked as a supervisor for Brown Shoe Company for 24 years. He worked for the company in Savannah, Tennessee and then moved with the company to St. Louis Missouri and eventually worked in China.  James later worked as a supervisor for General Electric, where he retired from.  In his spare time he enjoyed boating, fishing, working on his Allis-Chalmers tractor and his old '78 Silverado Deluxe hardbody truck.  James loved his dogs and was an animal history buff.  His favorite saying was "Well, what's that got to do with me."
