Albert McAnany Obituary

87, New Palestine, passed away Friday, April 12, 2013 at his home. Albert was commonly known as "Al," "Mac" or "Bud" by those who knew him. He was born in Indianapolis, IN on January 12, 1926 to parents, Francis and Mildred Agnes (Trimpe) McAnany. Al served his country in the U.S. Navy during WWII on board the USS LSM-LSMR. During his career, Al worked as a truck driver for Kroger for nearly 40 years and was also a Fire Investigator for the State of Indiana and a volunteer fire fighter with the City of Lawrence Fire Department for 40 years. He was a member of the American Legion Posts 510 & 182; VFW Post 261; the USS LSM-LSMR Association; the Indiana Volunteer Firefighters Association, Inc.; past-chief of the Brown County Fire Department; the Indiana Motor Transportation Association (IMTA); and was involved in the State and National Rodeo for Trucking competitions where he won state several times and placed third on the national level. Al also once ran as the Democratic nominee for City County Council in Brown County. He was so proud of his country and family, could always be counted on, and never knew a stranger.
Al was preceded in death by his parents, Francis and Mildred; first wife, Betty L. McAnany; and siblings: William and James McAnany and Mildred Mead.
Survivors include his wife, Rebecca (Cook) McAnany; daughters, Dian S. Connor (Charles), Patricia Jordan and Kim Cross (Tom); son, Richard Cook (Sherrie); grandsons, Martin Smith and Alec Cook; granddaughters, April E. Clark and Lexi Cook; and great-grandchildren, Aaron and Sarah.

Emory Lencke here, a voice from the good old days at Speedway and Brownsburg. I am so sorry for your loss. I have some fond memories of Al as our truck driver to our stores. He was so dedicated to his duties. He knew how important it was to arrive on time and to help us "get the job done". Al will be missed by many. Such fond memories are going through my head. It has been 15 years since I retired from Kroger myself. Oh what awesome memories for us all. Best to you and your family and take care of yourself.

I was on the Fire Department when I met Mac. He was always kind & courteous to all he met. Very supportive of the Fire Department. I know he will be missed so much by so many.

Becky and family, I am so very sorry that I didn't know abt. this until after the services. You know that Bud meant the wrld to any one he met. And when the two of you met I was a little worried you were jumping in too soo. But after getting to know Bud he was the best thing for you. You have always held a special place as Sarge and Bud, he was able to join in you in your pranks. You'll be in our prayers, Maybe we can talk in a few weeks when all has settled down.
Love ya, Paul, Bernie & family

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow. I was Al's dispatcher from '70-'77 at Kroger. He was always a "go-getter" and good worker. Sorry for your loss.
