I will always remember Anderson's ministry at Fairview. I remember when he told me Rev Mike Kubat liked trains before I even met Mike. I still help Mike with his trains. I remember Anderson's friendship with my father. I will miss him.

What a loss Fairview Hgts. has suffered. Anderson was a wonderful man who really cared about the people. My Mom lived there for a long time and he was always faithful to visit her after my Dad died. I saw him back in the winter and am really glad now. He will be missed.

Carlton, Cynthia, Tiff & Drew,
Our love and our prayers are with you at this time. We love you and want you to know that it does not go unnoticed, the love you showered on your Dad. You can live your life with no regrets. You were there for every single aspect of your Dad's life. You stuck by him until the end, doing everything within your power to take care of him and everything he needed to have done, whether it was at his home, or away from home, from the smallest to the biggest things. He loved you and was proud of you as his son, Carlton. You will gain a great reward for the love and the care that you so freely gave. I have so many memories to cherish of Papa Duck from since I was about 7 yrs. old. I'm honored to have had him in our home to share Christmas with the family. He was a great, dedicated and godly man, and he will be greatly missed by us all. All of your family is in our prayers.
