Dear Mary, Joy and I followed you both at Middle Haddam when I was called to be the next rector of Christ Church. Bob was a wonderful priest to follow and I as well as members then there remember him and yourselves both gratefully and fondly. May your days ahead be sustained in faith and in memories of the goodness that has been such a part of your lives.

So full of life and energy; always giving others permission to grow and risk: - that was Bob to so many of us.
Mary, may God bless you as you grieve and as you find new paths for your journey.

I have know Mrs. Evans since grade school and Bob since I returned to MN in 1976. He was a great friend of my Mother and Father ...highly respected and loved by my family. I send my condolences to Mary and her family.

I am an elderly former Catholic priest. Once in my entire life, I actually felt I was in the Presence of Our Lord. I heard Bishop Anderson speak of an all-inclusive Church. I shall never, ever forget that day. God was there in this good man. I felt it. I am sorry to read of his passing but he is with the Lord whom he loved so much

Dear Mary and Family,
I am so sorry to hear of Bob's Passing. I have many fond memories of the Andersons and the Campbells close relationships. Of the support and comfort given to me amidst grieving the loss of my family members. Blessings to you all and Peace in the knowledge of Christ's Death and Ressurection so we that too may have Eternal life.

To the Anderson family, I have many fond memories of Bishop Anderson as my Mom, Trudy was his executive assistant. She enjoyed her work at the Episcopal Diocese & working with him so much ! He was such a inspiration, a true light for God & all people. It was so wonderful receiving a letter from Bob & Mary at Trudy's passing last year. I will never forget him or his beautiful smile. May God give you all strength, comfort & peace now & in the days ahead . Julie Kellogg Willenbring

Thinking about you all during this time of tremendous loss. My grandfather (Bishop McNairy) thought the world of Bishop Anderson. I still have a book that Bishop Anderson gave me when I graduated from Breck in 1991 called "Earth Prayers" (when my grandfather was no longer alive)...a small gesture that touched me very much. I have no doubt he did that sort of thing for countless people throughout his lifetime. What a gift he was to this world.
Peace and love to your family,

Not mentioned in this article is Bishop Anderson's leadership on Gay rights issues. He began speaking out on behalf of the GLBT community within the House of Bishops as long as 15 years ago, He relished riding in a convertible with Malcolm Boyd in the yearly Gay rights parade in Los Angeles and fully endorsed Bishop Gene Robinson of New Hampshire during the vote at the National Convention held in
Minneapolis. He was equally supportive of women's leadership in the church. Need I add that he was also an extraordinary husband, father, and grandfather.
