Passed away at 71, a long term Geneva resident and founder of the lobby group American Citizens Abroad.

Sundberg was a key force in bringing about American legislation that made it easier for Americans abroad to transmit their US citizenship to their children. He founded the American Children’s Citizens Rights League in 1977.

Through American Citizens Abroad, which he founded in 1978, Sundberg was most recently involved in town hall meetings held in 2012 for Swiss-based American citizens concerned about new US tax reporting requirements such as the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (Fatca).

What an extaraordinary life!

I didn't meet him in person, but I attended one of the town hall meetings in Zurich, which he moderated. In addition to being wonderfully charming, it was clear that Andy was passionate and deeply committed to issues affecting US citizens abroad. Americans abroad have lost a powerful and respected voice. He will be missed. Heartfelt condolences to the family.
