After Chase, Sullivan worked for three years at M&T Bank. Chase Alumnus Anton Mallner helped Sullivan move to Amalgamated Bank afterwards.

He remained there until 2007.

Sullivan had a deep love for history and ancestry, often tracing family roots and sharing stories of the past. He was also an avid New York Yankees fan who rarely missed a game and had a passion for classic baseball lore.

From Ed Moran: I met Tim when I was a consultant to Amalgamated’s Real Estate Department and an associated trust department fund. I could always depend upon Tim to give me a straight answer and to do the right thing. Unfortunately, that was not always the case with some of his associates. I’m sad to see him pass on at a relatively young age. RIP
