George Thomas Anderson age 88 died Wednesday, September 3, 2025 at Beth Israel Hospital Needham.

Born and raised in Plymouth, MA, he was a long time Millis resident. He was pre-deceased by his wife Jackie after 64 years of marriage. He was a loving parent to his daughter, Lauren (Anderson) Forbes of Medway and his son, Scott Anderson of Carver. He was the proud grandfather to his five grandchildren Weston Forbes (Flora), Cameron Forbes (Chiara LeSiege), Garrett Forbes (Jessica Page), Matthew Anderson (Brandi) and Meghan Anderson (Derek Tebeau). He is survived by his brother Frank Anderson and his wife Sally, brother in-law Mark Weston and brother-in-law Gary Weston and his wife Cheryl. He is pre-deceased by his sister Roberta Anderson and sisters-in-law Nancy Weston and Patricia Weston.

George retired from Bellingham High School in 1998 after 33 years, most of which was as the Director of Athletics. He arrived in 1965 and resurrected the football program and served as the Football Coach through 1969 and spent many years attending many of the school teams sporting events. The Athletic field was named in his honor and he was inducted into the Bellingham High School Athletic Hall of Fame in 2019. George enjoyed his time with his friends and family but the last two years he missed the love of his life Jackie. They were married on September 7, 1958 and we are blessed that he is reunited with her before their anniversary.

After teaching along side George for many, many years, I can truly say that he was one of the good guys. He was kind-a gentle soul-and treated everyone with the greatest of respect. As a result, he was highly admired in the school community. May he rest in peace.

My deepest condolences to the family. I've known George since high school (1976) until his recent passing. George provided an enormous amount of support to women student athletes at Bellingham High School--his advocacy ensured that women had equal practice time on the BHS fields & track. Our paths crossed again in the late '80's--come to find out he lived down the road from my grandparents & dad. And, we crossed paths once more while watching my sons & George and Jackie's grandsons play soccer and baseball. I spent many hours in the baseball stands with George and Jackie and we always had a few laughs at each game while Jackie and I ate our pumpkin seeds. He will truly be missed.
