Robert “Bob” E. Sullivan, 90 of Wahoo, peacefully entered into eternal rest on September 19, 2013 at his home in Wahoo. Bob was born January 24, 1923 in Hastings, NE to Francis and Martha (Roberts) Sullivan. He served his country in the U.S. Air Force as a navigator on a B-24 bomber during WWII until being honorably discharged in 1945. On August 28, 1948, Bob was united in marriage to Rilla Kuhl at Holy Name Catholic Church in Omaha, NE. He graduated from Creighton University Law School in 1950.
Bob worked as an FBI agent in Georgia and New York until 1954 and he also served as the Saunders County Attorney for 12 years. He worked as an attorney in his private practice until he passed away. Bob’s public service included serving on the St. Wenceslaus Parish Council for 20 years, Bishop Neumann High School Advisory Council, First National Bank Board of Directors for 25 years, and the Hilltop Country Club Board. He was a member of St. Wenceslaus Catholic Church where he served as a lector for Mass.
Bob was an attorney, a proud veteran, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, and great friend. He was a passionate New York Yankee and Husker fan that loved to golf and play cards with his friends. Bob will be greatly missed.
Bob is survived by wife of 65 years, Rilla M. Sullivan; children, Michael (Trish) Sullivan of Hastings, Patrick Sullivan of Wahoo, Jody (Richie) Poveromo of Fairplay, CO, Rilla (Robert) Eaton of Wahoo, Maggie Sullivan of Wahoo, Bob (Carmen) Sullivan of Hastings; 18 grandchildren; 14 great-grandchildren; numerous nieces and nephews.
He was preceded in death by brother, William “Bill” Sullivan and son-in-law, Mike Watrus.
Pallbearers are Ryan Sullivan, Joseph Sullivan, Patrick Sullivan, Vito Poveromo, Griffin Sullivan, Nolan Sullivan, and Quinn Sullivan.
so sorry for your loss. Bob was a man of God and a true friend. I am sure he and George are having a wonderful Reunion!

Bob was my grandparent’s attorney as well as advisor and friend to my father, Fr. Gary Frahm. My father had a great respect for Bob,and when I moved to Wahoo, he directed me to Bob for any advice I may need. He was a rare man indeed, and helped me on several occasions. He truly did want to help people. I will miss him.
