George Sundborg

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, nothing would do but George
had to break out a bottle of champagne and we all drank a toast. Later
when we were married the family attended our wedding and reception. Since George
and his wife have been gone many years from Fairbanks I have only had
the pleasure of seeing him and some of his family at the Juneau,
Douglas picnic which is held in Seattle yearly and I attend from time
to time always an enjoyable time and visit with them. I will miss him
but he leaves a lot of respect and good memories in my mind. Ted W.

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.

Dear Sundborg Family:

What an amazing family and father. We read of your father's exemplary life and the outstanding family he and your mother created. How blessed and rich your lives are because of them. We send our sympathy and our respect to you and pray that you have a lifetime of memories to feed you all.

My deepest sympathy to George's family. He would have known my uncle, Julius Ferney, when he worked for the Juneau Alaska Daily Empire in the 1950's. If he played golf, they would have been among the group of movers and shakers who helped make Alaska a state. He is clearly among the "Notable Queen Anners." If he attended any of the Queen Anne High School Alumni events during the last ten years, then we probably met more than once. He will definitely be missed. The other members of the board of trustees of the Queen Anne High School Alumni Association also send their condolences. Kim R. Turner, President, QAHSAA

I will remember George for his great love of family, and his lively interest in the world around him.
