Scott Gunderson

Even though he was my teacher for only one short year, that year meant everything to me. Gundy was a great teacher, and an even greater friend. If i ever had any problems in my life, no matter how personal, he would pay attentian, and he would actually care. He was always willing to help me, and other students out, even if it meant spending his whole lunch with me. I would talk to Gundy about anything: relationship problems, home problems, ANYTHING. To me, Gundy was the definition of a "good...

Scott was a family friend - the kind of friend that is so close, he’s family. So although I know he was a great teacher, buddy, and coach, he was my friend - and I knew him his whole life. I have photos of me holding him when he was a newborn and I was five years old, and from there we really grew up together. Our families always cut down Christmas trees together, spent countless nights at each other’s homes for dinner, went on memorable camping trips each summer, spent New Year’s Eve...

Scott was a very good man. He was the kind of teacher who made deep connections with students and inspired them to be their best. Scott touched many lives and made a difference. I know that he will be missed by many and remembered with love and affection.

My deepest sympathies to the family and friends of Scott. You are in my prayers.

Words just don't express what a truly amazing man Scott Gunderson was. I first met him five years ago when he was my english teacher at Lynbrook. He was easily the most entertaining teacher I have ever had, and was open to actually getting to know his students. I stayed in contact with him until he passed away and he would always respond to my e-mails with some form of encouragement or congratulations. He was a steady rock that we could cling to when life got too turbulent to handle on our...

Scott was one of the nicest guys I ever met. I new Scott from Junior High to De Anza. It had been years since I last talked to Scott, and this will take time to get over. I know Scott enriched every life he came into contact with. When you look at him he's so big, but once you get to know him the phrase "Gentle Giant" is often though of. Gundy God Bless

I am saddened by your sudden death. My daughter had you at Oak Grove this past year, and you were the best teacher she had. Im glad I got to tell you that on the last day of school....

He was one of the greatest men I had ever met. I met him as a sophmore at Lynbrook when I decided to play football, which also happened to be his first year coaching. He had an amazing ability to connect with the players on the team and his students, yet at the same time he was able to earn our respect. When I moved up to varsity the next season I was exicted to see that Coach Gunderson was moving up as well. That year I also was a teacher aide for him. I was able to see first hand how well...
