Robert Sundeen Obituary
He was born in Manchester on July 31, 1926, the son of Walter and Marie (Chellmondin) Sundeen. Bob was a graduate of Cushing Academy, North Park Junior College, and Babson College.
During World War II, he served with the 78th Infantry Division in the Central European Campaign. He later served with the 517th Quarter Master Car Company, 1st Army Headquarters, at Fort Bragg, N.C., as a supply sergeant, until he received his honorable discharge in July 1946.
In June 2014, Bob was grateful for the opportunity to go on an Honor Flight trip to Washington, D.C.
Bob was owner and operator of the Sundeen Lumber Company. Over the years, he was active in many professional, civic and faith organizations, including the investment of his time, treasure and talents in the building of Bethany Covenant Church.
Bob was a member of the Washington Lodge 61 F and AM in Manchester, a 32nd-degree Mason of the Scottish Rites Bodies of Nashua, and the Bektash Temple Shrine of Concord.
Bob leaves a son, Randall T. Sundeen of California; sister-in-law Jean Meyer of New York; several cousins, nieces and nephews.
He was predeceased by his wife, Joan T. Sundeen, in 2009; a sister, Elizabeth Rasanen; and his parents.
Bob was deeply touched by the outpouring of support from his Bethany Covenant Church family. Sincere appreciation is also extended to the staff at Villa Crest for their compassion and care while Bob was there.

Sad to hear about his passing.
'Mr. Sundeen' employed myself and several other neighborhood teenagers for significant yard work at his home long ago. Set high expectations and rewarded fairly. Trusted us with his vehicles and equipment. Gave me my first full time job at his lumber yard. A great man and mentor.
Thank you Mr. Sundeen.
My condolences to Randy.
