Albert Winston Sullivan, "Sully," 87 of Cobb Island, MD passed away November 12, 2015 at home. Born July 8, 1928, in Bristersburg, VA, he was the son of the late Harry Timothy Sullivan and Ethel Botts Sullivan.

Albert graduated from Hyattsville High School and enlisted in the United States Navy from which he was honorably discharged in 1951. Once out of the Navy, he then attended the University of Maryland.

Albert was married May 16, 1953 to Betty Ann Dent at St. Bernard's Church in Riverdale, MD. They spent 61 years together before she passed away August 22, 2014. Together they raised five children and had eight grandchildren, to whom he was known as "Pop Pop."

Albert retired from the Southern Maryland Electric Coop, and enjoyed spending time on the water and was a member of the Cobb Island Yacht Club.
