Robert William Anderson Sr.

In Loving Memory of Robert W. Anderson, Sr.
Bob, a devoted husband, father, grandfather, veteran and computer pioneer, passed away peacefully at the age of 87.
Born in 1937 in Massachusetts, he answered the call to service early in life, enlisting in the U.S. Army at the age of 17. His disciplined nature and sharp intellect led him to a lifelong career in programming and engineering, where he became a brilliant and respected contributor to the U.S. Space Program. His work helped advance the frontiers of exploration, leaving a lasting impact that will reach well beyond his time.
A loving family man, who is survived by his wife of 64 years, Carol, who stood beside him through every chapter of his life. He was the proud father of four sons, and a cherished father-in-law to their spouses. His legacy lives on in his five beloved grandchildren and his great-grandson, who brought him great joy and pride.
He will be remembered not just for his professional achievements, but also for his sharp wit, unwavering loyalty, enduring faith, and his deep love for his family.
A private service will be held in accordance with his wishes.
As a lifelong lover of animals, in lieu of flowers, his family kindly asks donations to be made to the SPCA Tampa Bay in Largo, Florida. https://spcatampabay.org/donate/
He will be deeply missed, remembered, and forever loved.
