John D. Anderson

My wife, Charlene, & I returned last night from a trip up to Bainbridge Island, Washington--where we attended the celebration of life memorial service for John. The service was in a beautiful location along the waterfront, in Poulsbo, Washington. The friends & family that attended (whom were originally from Modesto) included: John's younger twin brothers (Don & Ron), Walt Abplanalp, Ames Countryman, and Don MacRitchie. Don MacRitchie gave a wonderful eulogy. Then, Ames & I both shared...

Hilde, David, and Lynn-
Our family is so sorry for your loss. We enjoyed visiting with all of you when we could get together and we will greatly miss John. We will always remember coming to Seattle and spending a few days with all of you and how much fun we had. He was a wonderful person and a person who will be missed. You all are in our thoughts and prayers.

I was surprised to read about John. I also went to Davis and graduated in 1971. I remember John as fun and kind. He had such a broad, productive life. My prayers are now with the family that he made. May they be comforted by the God of all comfort.

John was my first boyfriend at age 15. I have wonderful memories of my high school years with him, and of dancing with him at the 10 year high school reunion. Having known his family for years, I'm so sad about the losses in his family and especially of John.

I was so very sorry to read about John's passing. He and I graduated from Davis together and, in fact, we both attended our 10 year class reunion. We were laughing over the fact that I had a secret crush on him back then!
He was a wonderful guy and my sincere condolences to his family and friends.

My heart fell suddenly when I read the obituary this morning. Great sadness, and deep feelings of grief. The last time I saw John, it was at his brother's service. He was in good spirits considering all the pain in his soul for a lost brother. Truly the moment is now a precious memory, and may he find peace in the arms of the Lord.
