L.A. Ad Industry to Remember O'Sullivan

LOS ANGELES A memorial service for longtime West Coast adman Tom O’Sullivan is scheduled for 10 a.m. Saturday, May 14, at St. John Fisher Catholic Church in Rancho Palos Verdes, Calif., according to a representative from Los Angeles’ Advertising Industry Emergency Fund.

O’Sullivan, who suffered a series of illnesses over the past few years, died on Friday, April 15, due to complications from a progressive blood disorder. He was 63.

O’Sullivan’s three-decade agency career began in the late 1960s, when he traded his job as product manager at Pfizer Pharmaceuticals for an account management role at Grey, New York.
