On Friday, August 28, 2009 @ 10am, CDR Ryan Tillotson turned over the USS The Sullivans command to CDR Neil Funtanilla. It was an emotional morning as we all prepared ourselves to say good bye to a great CO! Now, he's not dying or anything, we will keep in touch BUT, we will not work for him anymore! :( Apryl & I have been proud & very privileged to say for the last year & a half that we were CO Tillotson's "Buds"...Ombudsmen. He was our friend, our leader & a great man! We will miss him & his family (his wife Amy & daughter Olivia) as they set sail (no pun intended) on their next adventure in Colorado! CDR Tillotson, Fair Winds & Following Seas sir...we love you!
