GREENSBORO — Charles “Charlie” Sullivan, husband of former UNCG Chancellor Patricia A. Sullivan, died Wednesday, Oct. 27, after a brief illness. He was 70.
Funeral will be 11 a.m. Tuesday, Nov. 2, at St. Paul the Apostle Catholic Church in Greensboro.
Staff and faculty at UNCG remember Charlie Sullivan as an avid Spartan basketball fan and a man dedicated to supporting his wife during her 13-year tenure at UNCG. He was known for his gentle good humor, often calling guests to dinner with a train whistle and rewiring circuits in the chancellor’s residence.
Sullivan was quite a capable electrician, holding both a master’s and a PhD in electrical engineering from New York University. He had a 25-year career in the corporate world with General Electric and Texas Instruments, where he worked on the analysis, design and computer simulation of semiconductor devices and fabrication technology and the development of semiconductor engineering software.
He grew up on Staten Island, N.Y., just up the block from Pat Sullivan. They met at the Manhattan Engineers Ball when he was a junior at Manhattan College and married in June 1966.

Meet the Emerson Council candidates
Thursday, October 28, 2010
BY KIMBERLY REDMOND
Pascack Valley Community Life
*** begin quote ***
In Emerson, a hotly contested race for a mayoral seat and two council seats is underway, with three political newcomers facing off against three incumbents.
Mayor Louis Lamatina, a Democrat, is running for his second four-year term. Political newcomer Carlos Colina, a Republican, is seeking to unseat Lamatina.
*** and ***
Louis Lamatina* (D)
Age: 53
Educational background: Graduated from Manhattan College magna cum laude with a double major in Economics and History in 1979, received a juris doctorate degree from Hofstra University School of Law in 1982
Borough resident: 20 years
Family: Married to Jeanine for 27 years; two daughters, Lauren, 18, a freshman at Hofstra University and Allison, 10, a fifth-grader at Villano School
Occupation: Attorney and principal of the Law Office of Louis J. Lamatina since 1989
Community activities: Volunteer with Bergen County’s Alternatives to Domestic Violence, softball and soccer coach

Why are you running? I am running for re-election to continue the progress which I began when first elected to the job of Mayor in 2006. For decades, our borough’s downtown has stagnated under both Democratic and Republican administrations. As my election occurred under a bi-partisan coalition, conditions were finally optimal for long overdue change& I have the experience, qualifications and drive to insure that the revitalization of our downtown continues.
