Thomas Anderson Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Douglas & Johnson Funeral Home - Salem on Nov. 11, 2025.
Thomas William Anderson, 63, of Lowell, MA, passed away peacefully on November 10, 2025, surrounded by his loving family and friends. Born on November 28, 1961, in Lawrence, MA, to the late George C. and Gail (Titus) Anderson, Tom lived a life marked by kindness, hard work, and devotion to those he loved.

Tom was known for his easygoing nature, quick wit, and generous spirit. He grew up in Salem, NH, graduating from Salem High School Class of 1980 and continuing his education at Northern Essex Community College. Tom built deep connections everywhere he went whether through his career at Core-Tek Products and Boston Granite Exchange, his love of good food and espresso martinis, or his runs with friends and his brother. Wherever he went, Tom brought a smile to everyone he met.

He was always a proud girl dad and devoted to his daughters, Emily (Washington, D.C.) and Molly (Lowell, MA); a loving brother to George L. Anderson and his wife Karen (Portsmouth, NH); and a proud uncle to Robert Anderson and his wife Jill (Bedford, NH), Erik Anderson and Ian Anderson (both of Portsmouth, NH). He remained close with his former wife, Katie (Mitchell) Anderson (Derry, NH); lifelong friends Bill Thomas (Salem, NH) and Steve Graziani (Portsmouth, NH); and his unforgettable Lowell crew.

Tom will be deeply missed and forever remembered for his steady presence, sharp sense of humor, and the love he gave so freely.

He was predeceased by his parents and his aunt, Pat (Titus) Gerhard.

Calling hours and an opportunity to celebrate Tom's life will be held on Wednesday, November 19th at The Westbrook Inn, 49 S. Main Street, Derry NH 03038 from 4:30-8:00pm. Family and friends are invited to share stories and honor the life of a man who made every day brighter. Burial will be private.

In lieu of flowers, donations in Tom's memory may be made to The Michael Neely Center for Brain Tumor Care and Research. https://camneelyfoundation.org/donate/

I am saddened to read about Tom´s passing, he was always a kind friend during my high school years.
We´d hangout at Sandy´s bowling alley on Saturday´s ( Bobby & Eddie, Carlos, Tom and Angelo and others). Tom always won, he was the best candle pin bowler I have ever known.
Afterwards, we´d play poker at a friends house and enjoy each other´s company.
We all looked forward to those nights, creating life long memories.

Tom we will miss you, rest in peace.

With deepest sympathies,
Bob Gaudette
