Robert Anderson Obituary

ROBERT (BOB) E. ANDERSON Bob was born in Glendale, California in June of 1928 and graduated from Glendale High School. Bob served proudly and honorably in the United States Navy from 1946 to 1948.

He retired from B of A in 1990. Bob continued to enjoy music throughout his life and was an avid reader.

Joseph and his wife Denise of Moreno Valley, Thomas Christian and wife Janel of Redlands; his daughter, Suzanne Marie and husband Joe Fiandaca of Riverside; 11 grandchildren, 11 great-grandchildren, and a host of other relatives and many friends.

My thoughts and sympathy are with you at this sad time. I recall how loving and supportive Papa was to the people in his life. He was a good man. He was blessed by his children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. May you find peace and pleasant memories.

I met Bob in about 1963-64 and knew him as a great father & family man. I used to think I could sing but Bob informed me otherwise. We were in a couple of board of realtors stage shows and Bob was right, I could sing nothing like he & wife Zina could. My deepest thoughts and feelings to Zina and the rest of the family.

Bob was a fine man and a friend for many years. I always remember him talking to me about Glenn Miller and his great music. I will miss him and extend my sincere condolences to Zina and the family.

To the Anderson Family~
I read in the online Press today that Bob had passed away. I am so sorry for your loss. I worked with him many years ago at BofA and always liked Bob. He was a very good guy.
Please accept my condolences on your loss.
