Fred J Anders, Jr.

Fred J Anders, Jr., known to his loved ones as Fred, aged 95, departed this life in the peaceful retirement community of Stonegates on May 24, 2024, in Greenville, Delaware. He was born on the fourth of July, 1928, in Lakewood, Ohio.

Fred was a man of science who dedicated his career to DuPont, working in various locations including Wilmington, Harrisburg, and Niagara Falls. He held a Doctorate in Metallurgy, having completed his higher education at Case University in Physics.

In his personal life, Fred was a loyal and inquisitive individual who loved learning. He both taught and took classes until last year at the Acadamy of Lifelong Learning. Fred's passion for golf was well known and his remarkable achievement of three holes-in-one remain a proud legacy among his family. He was a member of the DuPont Country Club, the Niagara Fall CC, and the Harrisburg CC.

Fred is survived by his daughters, Marcia Anders and Harriet Gill. He was preceded in death by his son, Fred C. Anders, his grandson Ryan Anders, his first wife Marjorie Reichard, and his second wife Irene.

Fred believed in the power of science. His rational mind found comfort and intrigue in the principles of science which guided his life. He will be remembered for this passion, his love of golf, and his loyalty and kindness to family and friends.

In accordance with Fred's wishes, his life will be commemorated privately. Chandler Funeral Home is assisting the family with the arrangements.
