George Gund III

I was deeply saddened to hear of George's passing and I want to extend my sympathy to his family. In the past when I have lost a loved one I've been comforted by the passage "On Death" in the book "The Prophet" by Kahlil Gibran. Perhaps those words will ease your sorrow too.

George was a great guy and the world is worse off with his passing. Very very sad.

Mr. Gund, as a fan of the San Jose Sharks since 2/11/94 (my first game), i wanted to thank you for bringing one of the most successful sports franchises to the bay area. Your gifts enable us fans to enjoy going to a Sharks game. Thanks for the memories, and someday VERY soon, the Stanley Cup will know its way to San Jose! GGIII, forever a Shark.

George lives in the hearts of those fortunate to know him, and love him

My deepest sympathies to all whose lives he's touched in this time of grief

vast oceans are merely creased by waves

deep with cunning are the hearts of knaves

water evaporates eventually the bottom shown

when george gund died his final thoughts remain unknown

A great, kind, visionary and inspirational man. It is a privilege to work at the NHL franchise he started here in San Jose. And - it was an honor to know him.
