Robert M. Anderson Jr.

We were sorry to hear about Robert. He was perfect to work with when he designed our house Robert was a true genius when it came to home design. He will be missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with Emily and his family Barbara and Larry Speller

Bobby's parents and my parents were Nashville neighbors in the early 1940's when he was a child. Then in the 1950's, he designed our home in Macon, Georgia, where I grew up. We thought so much of the Andersons. Condolences upon his passing.

My sympathy goes out to the family during your time of grief. May God's loving-kindness comfort you and help you through this difficult time. (Psalm 119:50,76)

Mrs. Anderson and family, I learned of Mr. Anderson's passing this morning and my thoughts and prayers are with you. Rodney Toothman

Lesley and I knew Robert for many years and remember him very fondly. When we first moved to Nashville we bought a Robert Anderson designed home. When we decided to build a new home we never considered another architect. He was a great architect and friend. We will miss him always.

It was through Emily, not architecture, that I first met Robert. I was in graduate school, and there was this cool guy in neat cars that was hanging around. I think it was a black Porsche…no, may have been a BMW Bavaria. At any rate, the cars were cool and so was he. Shortly thereafter, I learned about the great houses he was designing and began to dream of having one some day. That dream came true, along with the great friendship of Robert and Emily. I miss him and his spirit gigantically.

Robert's remarkable gift for architecture has graced our lives every day for 30-plus years. Working with him ignited a love for design and building houses, as well as a wonderful friendship with him and Emily. His life will continue to be celebrated by those us fortunate enough to call his creations "home."

Robert's contributions to Nashville architecture are iconic. Elaine and I are so fortunate to have been within his circle of friends -- we miss him already. Our thoughts go out to Emily.

What a wonderful person, and architect. He touched every home I have lived in the most extraordinary way. He will always be remembered with love and great respect. I have missed him very much since his illness...and you too Emily.
