McMINNVILLE, ORE. - The late Dewey Sullivan has been posthumously named the PriceCatcher.com Person of the Year for 2006. Mr. Dewey Sullivan, who passed from this life in 2006, was more than a champion coach at Dayton High School for decades; he was a life coach and an encourager for the ages.
"The winningest high school football coach west of the Mississippi" just begins to tell Mr. Sullivan's story. The countless young people he taught, coached, inspired, mentored, befriended, and encouraged reaches well beyond that of any normal hero. Coach Dewey Sullivan will forever hold a special place in the hearts of his community, among his students, rival coaches, and the many who so wish they had known him.
"Today I am pleased to announce Coach Deward T. "Dewey" Sullivan as the PriceCatcher.com Person of the Year for 2006. As we remember Mr. Sullivan, we remember his dignity, honor, and service he gave so well for so long - so long that some can even say that their coach also coached their grandfather. His service was amazing." Said Ruben Contreras, Jr., Founder & CEO of PriceCatcher.com, in announcing this years' honor.
"Dewey Sullivan is someone that all future local high school coaches will be measured against; a man so remarkable that if the city of Dayton changed it's name in his honor it would be 'altogether fitting and proper.' Honoring Dewey Sullivan is our small way of saying thanks for all the wonderful ways he served his community and gave us all a shining example." Contreras said.
