Tom Sullivan's 'major legacy' is a new building for the union on Peck Slip in Manhattan, said the union's vice president, Louis Turco.
TOM SULLIVAN, a longtime cop and president of the union representing the NYPD?s lieutenants, died Sunday after a long battle with cancer.
Sullivan, 60, of Marine Park, Brooklyn, was a cop for 38 years.
He served as president of the Lieutenants Benevolent Association the last four years.
?Thomas Sullivan served the public as a police officer and his membership as a leader, and he will be remembered for excelling in carrying out both duties,? said NYPD Commissioner Raymond Kelly.
Two weeks ago, union officials purchased a new building on Peck Slip in Manhattan to serve as a new headquarters.
?That?s a major legacy for him,? said Louis Turco, vice president of the Lieutenants Benevolent Association.
?He was probably the most caring and thoughtful guy I?ve ever been around,? Turco added.
?He always put other people first. He put his family first, he put the union first, he put the department first.?
Sullivan leaves behind his wife, Marie, and five children.
