Not sure what to say?

George was a class act. I got to know him after he retired from the Bureau of Outdoor Recreation. I was on some fishing trips to Westport, Wash., with several others and George joined us. He was very supportive when I caught the first salmon and the biggest fish of that day!

A true gentleman. He and Mary did much work on behalf of others, including volunteering time and talent for the free meals served at Blessed Sacrament Church.

The world has lost a great man.

I
would like to express my sincere condolences to the entire Sundborg
family at this time. Alaska has lost a great man who contributed much
to this country.
I and my folks had the pleasure of knowing George and his family for
many years as they were our next door neighbors in Juneau for some
years and some of their children went to school with me as I grew up.
When my wife and I became engaged we stopped by there house in
Fairbanks that night to tell them about it,...

You'll be greatly missed great grandpa. It was amazing to see you and great grandma together at her 100th birthday celebration. I'll see you again someday <3

My sympathy is sent to all family and friends. May your fond memories of Mr. Sundborg aid you in your sorrow.

Several years ago I had the privilege of sitting beside Mr. Sundborg at a luncheon at Seattle U. We enjoyed a fascinating conversation as we exchanged some of our life experiences. The few times we saw each other after that, he always greeted me with a warm welcoming smile. He was such an extraordinary individual that I will always treasure the memory of knowing him briefly. My thoughts and prayers are with the family and friends.

To George Jr., Lisa and the entire Sundborg family:
Please accept condolences from so many of us here at the University of Alaska. I felt very fortunate to have met your dad. Our very best wishes during this difficult time.

Our condolences for the
loss of your loved one.

We wish you peace and acceptance
during this difficult time.

How fortunate the state of Alaska was to have George. My thoughts are with your family at this time.

Having worked with George during his tenure at the Bureau of Outdoor Recreation, I was privileged to meet a real gentleman - and I will not foreget him. The trips to Alaska with him are most memorable.
