Mrs. Anderson and Family:
My condolences on the loss of Don.
One of my memories was when I was running for school committee in 1997. I was an unknown and Don agreed to do a photo endorsing me in the paper. I will never forget that.
Don was a true "public servant" to his God, his country, his state and his town, and most importantly, his family.

God Bless,
Bill Flynn

Great guy, family man, godly man, public servant, friend and, if I may add a thought I don't often have, a fantastic basketball referee.

And, god help him, in these recent tragic and difficult years for the family a man of incredible courage.

Mr. Anderson,
Sir, I didn't know you but I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for our Country when you served in the U.S. Navy during WW II and for being a member of the Greatest Generation. And to your family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.
