Philip W. Gunderson

Mr. Gunderson must have had an eye for style, because any time he would see me, he would comment on whether I had any. "You're looking good today, nice outfit." You don't often hear that from someone his age especially, but I think he still had a lot of charm and personality and an appreciation for appearances. Anyway, he'd always make me laugh and was a very sweet man when I knew him. I know he will be missed, but he's in a great place now, free from pain and sorrow. Good for him, sad...

Ruth and I extend our condolences to the Gunderson family. Phil's gift to our family, Jennifer, brought all of you into our life and our family too. We have been blessed to have known Phil, to have enjoyed his delightful personality and to have shared the joy of walking down the same aisle as he did last June. Our sorrow at losing him is somewhat alleviated by the knowledge that he brought much joy and good feeling to all who knew him during his long and generous life. May his memory...

The Gunderson Family and Jennifer in particular,
Your are in my thoughts. While I didn't know your dad well, I was happy to have known him. He seemed like a nice, friendly, caring man. He will live on in your memories. He had a good long life and has now be able to end his suffering and has moved on to a better place.

Dear Gundersons,
Deepest sorrow on the loss of your Father. He was a kind man who never let us neighbors pass the house without saying Hello. It's hard to lose a Parent. Time and memories cannot replace them, but they help our hearts heal. The Urvinas are thinking of you all at this time. We know how your hearts are hurting today. Our prayers are with you.

To the Gunderson Family and to Jennifer in particular,

While I didn't know your dad well, I was glad to have had a few opportunities to meet him. He seemed to be warm and friendly and a genuine nice person. I am sure that you are saddened by his loss, but that he will continue to live on in your hearts. Know, too, that after dealing with declining health that he is now at peace.

My father was a kind, loving and generous man. He loved to dress well, eat well and hearing about sports teams. He wore his heart on his sleeve. He was pleasant person; he rarely complained about anything. He had a fantastic memory; my memory of him will always be as close as my own heart.

I had the honor of knowing Phil for almost 30 years with his daugher Diane and I being friends since high school. In his younger years, I remember well the intelligent, friendly, always well dressed man at Ecklunds clothing where he sold mens suits (us kids used to stop and see him there often). He was a down to earth father (and father figure to me). He enjoyed having and being at his home almost able to right to the end. Thanks to the children for doing what they could to allow him that...

Diane and Gunderson Family,
My prayers and thoughts are with you all at this time. I know the sorrow in losing someone so close. May you find comfort in Jesus.

The Gunderson Family
I met Phil through marriage to Scott Witte and although the time I have known him was short. During that time I thought he was a sweet, funny man and had a smile that could warm any heart. I am so sorry for your loss, I know the pain of loosing someone you love. Please find comfort knowing that heaven is a better place and that he will always be your angel by your side.
