WILLIAM A. ANDERSON

It is hard for us to realize that Bill´s passing was over eight years ago. Bill had the right values and a correct vision. We are sure that he is proud to see that vision being carried forward by all of us who knew him and the next generation of scholars, especially those who have participated in the BAF.

I wrote out a Christmas card to Dr. Anderson and his wife only this morning and did not find out until just now that he had passed. Dr. Anderson was a warm, bright, thoughtful, caring, intelligent man. I last worked with him indirectly as an underling back in the mid 1980's, and yet he always included me as a friend. For his wife Norma, all his family, and those who cared for him, I am so very sorry for your loss, for our loss.

Dr. Anderson had a smile that would always light up the Engineering Department at the National Science Foundation. He will be truly missed.

We express our sincere condolences to Norma and family. Bill extended the knowledge base with his earliest works on such tragedies as the 1964 Alaskan earthquake, civil disturbances within the U.S.A., Curacao, and elsewhere as well as numerous other topics. In his decades long tenure at the National Science Foundation, World Bank, and later, the National Academy of Sciences, Bill facilitated the development of both professional networks and individual scientists. When you dealt with Bill,...

Sending my condolences to the family on your loss. We were all blessed to have had such a delightful and generous man inserted in our lives.

My condolences to the Anderson family. May the "God of comfort" continue to provide strength, endurance, and comfort to your family during your sorrow and grieving process.

We extend our condolences to the Anderson family in its time of grief and sadness. Bill's impact on family, friends and his professional community will extend well into the future.

When a loved one falls asleep in death it causes great pain and deep sorrow. May the God of all comfort see you through.

Offering our deepest condolence to the Anderson family, may God spirit empower you with strength and courage as you face the coming days.
