Dear John and all of the Anderson Family. I left a message in the Guest book of the funeral home of Boucher in January. The most difficult part of our Lives is having to endure the passing of our Loved ones. I hope knowing Cousin Mary Anderson-Kokell and I as well as many others do care and we all have you within our Prayers helps during this difficult time. I know you helped make your Grandpop smile every day as you enriched his Life. The Fond Memories you have of him will always remain within your Heart. When the pain eases, write a story about him and his Life and upload to his page of Our Family Tree so that all those who follow him will know more about this Wonderful man. I am looking forward to seeing you when you are up to it.
Love, Cousin Anthony

To the Anderson family,

We are sorry for the loss of your loved one. May the comforting words from family and friends continue to strengthen you, and the fond memories of your loved one continue to provide comfort to you.

May you also find a measure of peace in God's promises found in the last book of the Holy Scriptures 21:1,4..."And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away."

I worked with John on the Walt Whitman Bridge as a summer toll collector in 1969-71. He was ever the gentleman and a good leader. Sympathy to his family.
