Lawrence Anderson Obituary

Lawrence (Larry) Thure Anderson, 59, passed away with his family by his side on Thursday, November 5, 2020, after a sudden illness.

He is survived by his three wonderful children, Steven (Gainesville), Nikki (Tallahassee) and Sean (Windermere). He is also survived by two brothers, Lars (Julie) and Lance (Jackie).

Larry had a full life with a loving family and fulfilling career.

He and his wife Lan and their young family lived in Dallas, Texas, through the 1990s and returned to Windermere twenty years ago to take a position as Senior Electrical Engineer at Lockheed Martin where he worked on the Apache Program. Several dozen of his coworkers wrote beautiful messages of how much they enjoyed knowing and working with Larry.

Larry attended Holy Family Catholic Church. A Mass for him will be held on December 4th, 2020, from 1 -2 p.m. at 5125 South Apopka Vineland Rd., Orlando.

A Celebration of Life service will be held afterward at St. Luke's United Methodist Church from 2:30-3:30 p.m. at 4851 S.Apopka Vineland Road, Orlando. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, St. Luke's Church has established a guideline limiting services to 50 attendees.

We got to know Larry throughout 12 years of Cub Scouts and Boy Scout outings with our sons. He always had such intelligent and funny quips that kept us entertained. Our sincerest condolences to the entire family.

I am so very sad to hear the news of Larry´s passing. I had the pleasure of working together with him in the early days of Orlando´s film and tape days. He was a wonderful man with a brilliant mind. To his family I send my most sincere condolences. Rest well, Larry.

I worked with Larry at my first job out of college. He was easily the smartest person at the facility and unfailingly polite to everyone. I'm very sorry to hear of his passing. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family.
