Condolence: Bob, Jody, Peggy, Chris, Amy and Nancy,
Your Dad and Mom were two of the kindest and nicest people I've ever known. They were living examples of the Golden Rule, making their actions louder than their words. We truly enjoyed spending time with our parents and their gang of friends, part of the Greatest Generation. As Sully said, may you find peace and joy knowing your parents are together.
Love,
Rich Gilloon

Condolence:
Robert D Anderson – The Greatest Generation
I was deeply saddened to read of the passing of one of the finest gentlemen I’ve had the privilege to know. There are few people I can truly say come close to the person of Jesus Christ on this earth; one would be Billy Graham, another would be a local prison ministry Deacon, a best friend of 39 years whom I recently eulogized, and Robert D Anderson. This would seem like an oxymoron for someone who had served his country as a tough Marine, played serious football, loved Notre Dame, successfully reared a large family, was an ethical businessman, & even had the nickname “hunk”; but it proves you can be multifaceted and still be a man of faith.
Mr. Anderson had all the qualifications in the proper order: Love of God, Country, Family, Friends, etc. When that “pyramid” is in order, everything else seems to fall into place. That doesn’t mean life was a rose garden for him; what it means to me is what Robert D Anderson left behind that he spent years carefully crafting: HIS LEGACY.
As outlined by his brief obituary, he was an overly- humble man. He was extremely ethical. He was so many things that in today’s world are lacking. I never heard a curse word, foul language nor did I ever hear anything off-color ever from Mr Anderson. He treated everyone with kindness and high regard, no matter what “position” you held. The Golden Rule was always evident. I especially noticed how he interacted with his daughters – with love and respect. He treated all women with dignity; the true measure of a man. One of Mr. Anderson’s closest colleague’s of 45 years (my partner) said: “A brief visit with Mr. A was like a retreat for the soul-one always came away refreshed and renewed.”
What an inspiration he was to me and many, many others. I will always remember the wonderful smile he always greeted me with.
Thank you for sharing your Dad and Grandfather. He will not be forgotten.
Heartfelt condolences.

Condolence: I'm deeply saddened to read of Bob's passing in this morning's obituaries. My family was privileged to know Bob for 50 odd years. Many years ago (my feeble memory fails me) I learned that Bob had lost his wife and a daughter. From that moment I've had Bob and your family in my daily prayer petitions. We've admired Bob's quiet but strong faith, and have always had great respect for his personal integrity.
We will keep Bob -and you- in our prayers.
With our heartfelt condolences, Kevin & Mary Kisting
