Freedolph Anderson Obituary


Freedolph D. Anderson VIRGINIA BEACH - Andy was born 75 years ago to Dr. and Mrs. F.E. Anderson of Underwood, N.D. He died at home with his family by his side Thursday morning, Oct. 16, 2008, of pancreatic cancer.

He graduated from Stanford University, the University of Minnesota Medical School, and interned at San Diego County Hospital with a residency in OB-GYN at the University of Utah and Boston City Hospital. He practiced medicine in Missoula, Mont., and the island of Guam before starting a career in clinical research at Johnson & Johnson in Raritan, N.J., and culminating at the Jones Institute of Eastern Virginia Medical School in Norfolk. He loved travel, reading, movies (could have been a movie critic), scuba diving, skiing, golfing, windsurfing and most of all being a grandfather. A private memorial will be held at a later date with his family.

I loved working with Dr. "Andy" Anderson at the Jones Institute. He always had a good word, shared his experience, and was just an all around good guy. My condolances and thoughts and prayers go out to the family. Betty Blake

Petey, Bob, Dan, and Rebecca, Sheila and I want to send our condolences to you. Andy was a great friend, neighbor, doctor and a great man. We had lots of fun playing handball and I always enjoyed working with Andy. You are in our thoughts and prayers. Dan Combo

I am sorry to see that Dr. Anderson has passed away. He was the most popular Dr. in Missoula. He delivered my son in 1967 at St. Patricks Hospital. He was always so kind and caring during my pregnancy. My son, now 41, is a chief in the US Navy stationed on Whidbey Island Wa. I am very sad to know of his passing. My condolences to Mrs. Anderson and the family. Linda Gregory
