James "Sunny" Sundquist

My name is Zeph Myers-Bonds and I was fortunate to have worked with Sunny at Jackson County MH at the Care House after graduating from SIU in 87 and to this day I can say that I can not think of a supervisor who made a more positive impression on me about the importance of supporting the MH community and just how much joy that can found in doing so. He was a great leader and person and I just wanted to offer my sincere condolences. Zephye Myers-Bonds Asst. Director Everest Drop-Center

So sorry to hear of Sunny's passing. I knew him in "the day" at the Bird Farm. He was always kind, smiling and cheerful. He'll always be remembered that way by everyone who knew him.

Sunny was one of my favorite people. Sending love to Ann and family

I had the pleasure of working with Sunny at SIRSS in Carbondale. He was one of kind. I remember him always talking about his kids and Ann and how much he loved them. To his family I'm sorry for your loss.

I am deeply saddened reading of Sunny's passing. He was one of my room mates at the Bird Farm's communal farm house. Sunny was a sweet, engaging and talented guy. He was a main event as he played his guitar and jammed with friends every Sunday. He was part of a very special time in southern Illinois in the 1970's and I treasure my memories of that wonderful time. The world has lost a very fine man. My condolences to lovely Ann and the family.

Christian, what a wonderful tribute to your father. He was truly an amazing man, one whose presence will surround you whenever you think of him...a thought, feeling of warmth, a memory. I pray the Great Master of all High Places, He of many names, touch you with a wind to keep you strong for all your days to come.

Sunny exuded peace. Everyone´s blood pressure dropped a few points when he walked into a room. His life was lived in the best spirit of the `60´s!

What a lovely tribute to Sunny! I´m so glad to have known him. So sorry for your loss
