| Description | George Sullivan, the mayor who steered Anchorage's city government into a modern municipality, died at home Wednesday night of complications from lung cancer.
His eldest son, Tim, said his father died peacefully in his sleep at 10:08 p.m. He was surrounded by his family. He was 87.
A lifelong Alaskan, Sullivan was born on March 31, 1922, and raised in Valdez.
