Anthony Sudar Obituary

Dear Sherly and Tony, Our Prayers and Sympathy to your family. Both my Dad and I have fond memories of both your Mom and Dad., May they rest in peace,they will be missed. Gail Zachary- Jandura

My thoughts, prayers, and deepest sympathy to Coach Sudar's family. Back in the 60's, he was my gym teacher at Brookwood. He has held a special place in my heart, even though I had not seen him since visiting with my infant daughter while he was a Guidance Counselor at Thornwood. He always had a smile on his face and made all of his students feel so special. He was thoughtful, kind, considerate, and encouraging. I remember him singing "Your are my sunshine", and he certainly was mine. It is because of the person HE was, that I became a PE teacher. I only hope I was able to impact half as many lives as he did. What an inspiration to so many! Coach Sudar, may your light shine through those of us fortunate enough to know you. May we continue your legacy, treating others with the same love, respect, and kindness you so clearly demonstrated. Heaven certainly did add another angel. You have left this earth, but will forever remain in the hearts of so many.

I worked with Packy for two years at Seton. He always made us laugh. May he rest in peace. He is probably telling the angels a funny story right now.

Sheryl & Family, I am so sorry for your loss. May fond memories get you through this difficult time.

Tony & Sheryl,
I am so very sorry for your loss. Your dad and I worked together at Seton Academy. He really enjoyed working with kids and was an inspiration to all of us. Please know that he was proud of both and you and his grandkids.......Sincerely, Donna (Martin) Gentile

Sheryl, I am so sorry to hear about your Dad, you and your family are in my prayers.

Packy always had a smile on his face and brought happiness to all the lives he touched. He will be missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing him.

Our prayers and sympathy to the family of our beloved Coach Sudar. Mr. Sudar was my Coach and Homeroom teacher at Brookwood Elementary School (Graduating Class of 1963). He made Gym fun and we loved him. He was a very kind man and had a great sense of humor. I'm sure he will be missed by many people, especially his family and all the students that loved him. May God comfort his family in the days ahead.

Packy was my counselor at Thornwood and he was just the best...he was truly a "good guy"---always a smile and kind word.

Packy and Sheryl, We would like to send our deepest condolences on the passing of your father. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

Lived with a smile always on his face, a servant's heart, and a fantastic outlook on life. A fine man, husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, teacher, relative, mentor and friend. He will truly be missed.

My sympathy to you, Sheryl and Packy. I have a lot of great memories of your dad. He was a very kind man. I am sorry for your loss.

As a '76 Grad Mr. Sudar was my Counselor at Thornwood. He was always approachable and kind. I couldn't ask for a better mentor and true friend. He was always there to lend an ear and offer advice. He made my high school years enjoyable. Rest in peace Mr. Sudar. Heaven just added another Angel to the fleet.

Mr. Sudar was always there for us, and our daughter Katharine, when she attended Seton academy. He shared his knowledge, good sense, and wonderful jokes. If a well-lived life is judged by those whom you help, then Mr. Sudar is in the front row in Heaven. He was a dear, sweet, and very handsome man. The Abbott family sends our sincere condolences to his loved ones.

My thoughts and prayers to the Sudar family. Mr. Sudar was my guidance counselor at Thornwood - and also knew my Dad. He was the kindest man - not intimidating at all to a 15 year old girl. Therefore, I just loved him. He was also a chaperone at my Senior Prom and we had a dance together. I will always remember him fondly.

Mr. Sudar had a way about him, that made you want to do better. He ultimately convinced me to get off my bum, and try a little harder. He always told me that I could do it. That it wasn't too late for college. And he was right. What a sweet genuine spirit. I appreciate what he did for me, and all of my other Seton sisters. May he rest in peace. I'll never forget that smile :-)

What a tribute to his life so many pages of people remembering this beautiful man. Packy always had a way to tell a story to make you laugh. I am so happy he is re-united in Heaven with his buddy my Dad Emil... GOD Bless you Packy and thanks for the stories. Zivio!!

Mr. Sudar was the best guidance counselor anyone could ever wish for. He cared deeply about all of us girls at Seton, and we knew it. He was kind, compassionate, funny and he believed that every one of us had the potential for greatness. Thank you, Mr. Sudar. You are an inspiration to so many. You will never, ever be forgotten. Rest in Peace, knowing you touched so many lives and made them better for having known you. I consider myself privileged and blessed to have known you.

When I was just a little girl at my older brother and TJ's baseball games, Packy was my best friend. He always took time away to entertain me, listen to me, and laugh with me. He's one of the only scent memories I have and I'll never forget his aura and all that he has done for me. He'll be greatly missed by all of us.

My Prayers go out to Sheryl & Packy, Mr Sudar was a inspiration to us all and will have a special place in heaven. I remember him always loving his Popcorn!!! Bless Him Forever

I have wonderful memories of Packy and his family when his children went through grade 6 grade and on into junior high. I am saddened by his passing. He was a good man. Prayers of comfort for his family. The worlds loss is heavens gain. May he rest in peace.

Mr. Sudar, my counselor at Thornwood is one one of my fondest memories from high school. SO sorry to hear of his passing. My condolences to his family.

I will remember Packy Sudar fondly as he always had a smile to greet you and a positive message. I worked with him at Thornwood and many years after he retired I followed him into the Guidance Office. After he left Thornwood he continued to give of himself at Seton. What a wonderful man and mentor.

Patricia Adcock

Please accept my deepest sympathy. I worked with Packy at Thornwood. He was a dear person and kind to all. He will be missed.

Mr.Sudar was an counselor/ assistant basketball coach while I was at Thornwood from 1972-76...Always encouraging and supportive, he was a fine teacher and role model! He definitely had a positive impact on my life! May you rest in peace!

Sorry to hear of your loss to the Sudar family.

Mr. Sudar was an amazing guidance counselor and inspiration to so many. Thornwood wouldn't have been the same without him. RIP

We are so sorry to hear of Packys' passing. Our prayers will be with your family. He truly was a gentleman!

Mr Sudar changed my life with a conversation we had my senior year at Thornwood (1984). My family knows the impact he had, which really totally altered my course in life for the best. I love that man. I'm deeply saddened to get this news.

Packy was a great mentor and amazing person who always put other people first. I am forever grateful to have known him and learned from him. It will be my lifelong goal to "pass it on". Thank you Packy! You'll be truly missed.

I am so sorry to read that Mr. Sudar passed. My deepest sympathy to Sheryl, Packy and their families. Such a fine man, many great memories. May he rest in eternal peace.

My deepest condolences. Mr.Sudar truly cared for us girls at Seton and I'll never forget his kindness. My prayers and love to his family♡ Danielle Perez

I am a former student of Mr. Sudar's (Seton Academy, Class of 1993). I think of him often & have nothing but fond memories of his patience & warmth. I will keep the entire family in prayers. He is already missed!

we were neighbors back in Cal City so sorry for your loss sending prayers

Mr. Sudar helped students make great decisions on the direction of their careers and education choices. He was a kind and patient man who touched the lives of many. He will be missed, but never forgotten. My condolences to his family.

Packy was the best guidance counselor anyone could ask for! He was the most kind and gentle man. I loved him as my drivers ed teacher as well. One time I was driving with him and he told me to exit the highway and I did. There was someone going down the off ramp, going the wrong way, heading towards us. I didn't panic. He told me to move to the shoulder and he got out and flagged down this car. It was an elderly woman. She didn't know where she was. He saved her life and got in her car and drove her to her on ramp. I'll never forget that memory. He was the best. He was a bright light in my memories at Seton and his kindness will never be forgotten. RIP Packy. You lived a wonderful life and helped so many students. You were an inspiration to me in my life. Thank you.

It was my honor and privilege to have worked with packy at Seton

When you're a kid in a new country you will always remember who was kind and generous to you. My HS Guidance Councilor, Mr. Sudar, was one of those kind souls. Thank you, Mr. Sudar. RIP.

My high school guidance counselor, Mr. Sudar was such an amazing man. I met him as a timid freshman in August 1991 and gave him the biggest hug when I crossed the stage in May 1995! He encouraged us to be our very best and always had a smile on his face! To his family, Thank you for sharing him with us! RIP Mr. Sudar!

Packy made coming to work a joy. I had the pleasure of working with him at Seton. He truly was a gentle man.

Mr. Sudar was an amazing man that took his job seriously and helped many students. Not only did he teach me how to drive, but he also believed in me as a student. I struggled a lot academically, but he knew that I could do it. He also felt deep down that I would make a great teacher....well Mr. Sudar, you were right! I only hope that when it is my turn to leave this place that I will have touched so many lives as you have! Thank you for being apart of my life.
