Joseph Anderson Obituary
March 13, 1928 - August 18, 2019
Myrtle Beach
Dr. Lenough Anderson, aged 91, died Sunday August 18th in Myrtle Beach.
He was born in Timonsville, South Carolina to Evander McKiver Anderson and Katie Laura Weatherford. He was the youngest of four children, and loved dearly his older siblings Evander, Walker, Callis, and Beatrice. He studied music, organ and piano, at nearly a dozen colleges and universities in the United States and Europe, and released many acclaimed recordings of organ works in Europe. He moved to Myrtle Beach in 1996 and taught piano for nearly 20 years, often up to 60 hours a week. Teaching his students "how to make music" was a great joy and passion that he enjoyed until he was 85 years old. He loved to travel around the world, a passion he instilled in his two sons from a young age.
He leaves behind his two sons, David and Richard, and eight grandchildren. His many friends will take comfort and smile in knowing that he passed peacefully in his sleep, shortly after enjoying a large bowl of ice cream.
Consistent with his explicit wishes, there was no funeral service. His son David, daughter-in-law Lisa, and grandsons Karl Joseph and Nikolaus Evander placed his body in the family mausoleum, next to his mother, at Darlington Memory Gardens in Hartsville, South Carolina. David shared words of gratitude and love on behalf of his family and the many friends that knew and adored him.

A remarkable friend and musician who paid an important part in my life as his producer of several recordings and finally CDs.
A great artist and a remarkably kind human being. Our recordings at Buckfast Abbey and the Royal Festival Hall I will never forget.

In 1963-4 , I tutored the then Mr. Anderson in his pursuit of learning German for his Grad degree. He was such a great man and so much fun. I remember the evening that Louis Lane invited him to conduct a piece for the Cleveland orchestra. He was so excited. We applauded him.

I was an adult piano student of Dr Anderson for 3 years or so while Dr Anderson was teaching in his later years. We had such joyful times together while at lessons, he had such an enormous intellect in his teachings and the understanding of musical emotions of the masters. I am 87 years of age, had about 10 classical piano teachers, including teachers from the New England Conservatory of Music as a child and have to say Dr. Anderson was the best. There are many, many children and adults who will always have one of the most joyful experiences of creating beautiful music through their whole lives because of Dr Anderson. I was so honored to call him my friend.

Saddened to hear of Dr. Lenoughs passing. He will be missed and remembered by many. Our family was richly rewarded by his friendship.
Early years at First Presbyterian Church, Akron, Ohio, were most memorable. Eleanore Anderson, Mother, sang in church choir directed by Dr. Anderson.
I, a young and inspired connoisseur of many artists admired by Lenough, always enjoyed our encounters at his organ during countless, majestic, church recessionals. I am honored for him to have let me turn pages for him.
Moving to South Carolina in 1960 brought about an extended friendship with Dr. Anderson's brother, Callis. He later became my opthamologist.
i will cherish the CD's at Westminster Abbey well as the many the memorable encounters over our lifetimes.
Dr. Joseph Lenough Anderson, i will miss you.
