EDMUND BURKE SULLIVAN  1909 - 1996

 

Married Connie Heide

"When Edmund Sullivan was returning to the Bronx after his military service in the Air Force, his Fifth Avenue Sullivan cousins planned a 'Welcome Home' dinner.  Ed's cousin Elizabeth was married to my mother's cousin Charles Ridder, and her sister Rita was married to Robert Huyot, who was the manager of the Carlisle Hotel where they lived.  My mother Gertrude Amend Heide received a phone call asking if one of her daughters could attend the dinner party and happily I (Connie) was available.

 

So I went to the party and when I was introduced to Edmund, handsome in his uniform (a Major),  it was a 'coup de foudre' (a bolt of lightening!).  I still remember the moment on October 13, 1945.  Suffice it to say that it was love at first sight and we were married on September 14, 1946.  Ted was Best Man and Paul an usher at our wedding.  And we lived happily every after" Connie Sullivan 1/15/2010
