We accidentally found out today that Jack had died. Heartbroken by the news. What a wonderful man! So many interests: genealogy, animals, cooking, books, movies, and the list goes on and on. Our grandchildren loved our summer visits with him when we drove through Sacto on our way to the OR coast. You are missed, my friend, and you always will be. I treasured you and our friendship, and I'll be using your recipes forever! Sharon

I first met Mr Anderson and his Samis, Chaco and Crystal, when he brought them to the animal hospital where I work. Over the years our professional relationship grew into a personal friendship. Jack, as he insisted I call him, was always a bright spot in my day when we got together. Be it for issues with the dogs, to share a joke (his laugh was contagious), or even to exchange a recipe here and there, Jack always made me smile. I will miss him as will many others who were fortunate enough to cross paths with him.

Mr. Anderson was my high school counselor at Sac High (1957-1960) . He was a genuinely nice man who was very helpful to me in planning my high school curriculum. I remember him well. Sad to know he has passed. My deepest condolences to his friends and family. Dorothy Easley Dunham -Sacramento

He was my counselor when I was in high school & I was his student office assistant for one hour a day. Even though that was 54 years ago, I still remember him & how he would encourage me to strive for excellence.
