The Hon Brian Thomas Sully AM QC

A man in and of himself complete, polished and well-rounded. The line is from Horace’s Satires and aptly describes Sully QC himself. Indeed, it captures elegantly the essence of the great man: the Judge, the Barrister; the Mentor and the Teacher. Sully QC was born on 3 February 1936 and died on 6 March 2019 after a short illness. He lived his entire life on the lower north shore of Sydney. Sully QC was educated at the Sisters of Saint Joseph of the Sacred Heart at North Sydney, followed by Marist Brothers High School in Mosman. In the post war years, he was the first altar boy, given that signal distinction by the papal nuncio himself. He grew up with the Tridentine rite in the era of Vatican I. Sully QC was a devout Catholic and throughout his life carried his good Lord with him.
