Dear Mrs. Anderson, Carleen, Mark and family of Carl E. Anderson Jr.
I would like to extend my deepest sympathies to all of you. Mr. Anderson was a very nice man and always very kind to me.
I grew up in Hope and saw him often. Because I lived behind the police station, the cars would always drive by going to and from the station. (It is blocked off now) He would always wave and sometimes stop to see how thing were going with us children in the neighborhood.
Also, in my teen years young Carl and I used to "hang out" together especially during the Juy 4th cookout, and Mr. Anderson would always be there for the rides on the fire trucks and cooking and serving the chowder and other food.
He will be missed by many people for all his kindness and the good work he has done. He will always be remembered for the happy moments he shared with the many people who knew him.
I pray your many happy memories will give you comfort now and always.
With My Sympanthies and God Bless,
Carol Manish
